Henle Rachmaninoff Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor Op. 36 Piano Urtext Sheet Music
Introduction
Henle’s Rachmaninoff Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor Op. 36 is a major Urtext edition of one of the most powerful works in the piano repertoire. This edition is especially valuable because it includes both the original 1913 version and Rachmaninoff’s later 1931 revision in full, giving pianists direct access to both forms of this dramatic and virtuosic sonata. It is an outstanding choice for advanced players wanting a reliable scholarly edition of a cornerstone 20th-century piano work.
