The only surviving handwritten source is a copyists manuscript that served as an engravers copy but which conflicts in many details with the original print.  Beethoven held this sonata in especially high regard, proudly calling it a real challenge in a letter of 15 January 1801 to his publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister.  Indeed, it manifests the quintessence of classical formal principles: its proportions are balanced, its four-movement structure consummately designed.  It poses high demands on flawless technical brilliance and lightness of execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor his new Urtext edition the world-renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has examined meticulously all available sources and presents a reliable musical text.
