Beethoven, Ludwig van: Piano Sonata No. 23 f minor op. 57 [Appassionata]
Urtext Edition, paperbound (Wallner, Bertha Antonia)
Curiously, the nickname Appassionata appeared for the first time in 1838 in a transcription of the sonata for piano four-hands published by the Cranz Verlag in Hamburg although this designation did not originate with Beethoven, it is nowadays inseparably connected with the work. It fits splendidly with the dramatic contrasts of the first movement, the solemnity and inwardness of the second and the demonic passion of the third."
