Carl Czerny wrote the following about Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Grande Sonate” op. 7, published in 1797: “The epithet appassionata would fit much better to the Sonata in E flat op. 7, which he wrote in a very impassioned mood”. As to whether the reason behind his passionate music was the composer’s attraction for his then 16-year-old pupil Anna Luise Barbara Countess von Keglevich remains open. It might be that the dedicatee’s father commissioned Beethoven to write the work for his daughter. We are publishing the sonata in a revised single edition by Norbert Gertsch and Murray Perahia – the introduction and fingerings were provided by the latter, one of the foremost interpreters of Beethoven’s piano music.
칼 체르니는 1797년에 출판된 루트비히 판 베토벤의 "그랜드 소나타" op. 7에 대해 다음과 같이 썼습니다: "아파시오나타라는 수식어는 그가 매우 열정적인 기분으로 쓴 소나타 E플랫 op. 7에 더 잘 어울리는데"라고 말했습니다. 그의 열정적인 음악의 배경이 당시 16세였던 제자 안나 루이스 바바라 백작 부인 폰 케글레비치에 대한 작곡가의 매력 때문이었는지에 대해서는 아직 밝혀지지 않았습니다.
