Just a book of Beethoven, why is this hard?

Post date: 2020-08-01 05:52:15

I had a great Beethoven Piano book growing up, it had to bought in the early 80s. I would love to find that one, but if not, just a complete book of Beethoven will be great but everything I find online seems to have just have pieces of his piano works or is otherwise edited for ease. Pbbt. I don't feel like this should be hard.

I just got a piano in the first time in forever, I am raring to go, I was working on this book and I'd like to pick up where I left off. For example, got the first two movements of Moonlight down, ready to tackle the crazy third. Almost mastered the first part of Pathetique and lots of the second. I lost it in a very silly turn of events involving very drunk and earnest artsy grad students. I would like to replace it for my mom as an apology for being a terrible spoiled early adult and for me, because it was a good book.

I remember that it started with a lovely little shortish piece that usually isn't attributed to him. It had the complete versions of everything you'd guess, Fur Elise, Moonlight, Pathitique. The cover was green and had him looking to the left in a slightly stylized version of the portrait that is a lot of piano books of his works. It wasn't so huge that it was unwieldy and just a regular bound paperback book.

If I can't find that, I would at least like a more or less complete piano collection of his works that is not dumbed down at all. At the least it should contain the ones I've mentioned, but there are a lot more than I can remember. I would like it to be able to sit on the piano and I don't have to run off copies of pieces to make it easier to read and turn pages. Can anyone help?
