PU.101. Beethoven's twenty-first piano sonata is the famous "Waldstein" sonata of 1804, so named because of its dedication to Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein. Waldstein was an important patron as well as a close friend of the composer. it was he who made it possible for Beethoven to go to Vienna to study with Haydn, and he who famously wrote, "With the help of assiduous labor, you shall receive Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands. " It is fitting that one of Beethoven's most popular and enduring sonatas is dedicated to one of his most loyal patrons. Pianists will delight in the sturdy spiral binding of our sheet music, which allows the score to lie flat when opened to any page. Reprinted from the authoritative Ruthardt edition.
