Last November "Essandess," as Simon & Schuster sign their chirrupy advertisements, came out with the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas newly edited by Pianist Artur Schnabel. Last January the firm hired a music editor, German-born Emil Hilb, who conducted the Denver Philharmonic in 1932-33. Last week Simon & Schuster published "Four Operatic Masterpieces"*-excerpts from Carmen, Faust, Tannhduser, II Trovatore, transcribed for players of average ability by Pianist Leopold Godowsky.
