Piano Sonata Op.111 (L.Beethoven)

A transcription of Beethoven's 32nd piano sonata (Op.111) in Lilypond format.

Feel free to open an issue if you have suggestions for improvements.

Todo: add fingering, and the third variation needs one last check.

Notes

u = upper staff; l = lower staff; M = measure(s)

For this transcription, two manuscripts were consulted: the original holograph manuscript from January 1822, and the fair copy made later that year for the Schlesinger edition.

1st movement

  • 64 u: No sf is present in the manuscript, but the analogous passage in M 142 does have one. For consistency, a parenthesized sf was added.
  • 133 u: No ff; parenthesized as per analogous in M 55.

2nd movement

  • 1 l: Fingering only applies to the repetition.
  • 30 u: The manuscripts appear to be in conflict; the original ends the slur on the first b/e, and the Schlesinger version ends it on the b just after. Here we utilize the latter.
  • 39 l: The first of many implicit tuplets to follow.
  • 117 u: The first of the two tied notes actually has a duration of a dotted 32nd note—otherwise the bar duration does not add up. As per the manuscript, it's written as a 64th note.
