...Published last fortnight were the 32 Beethoven sonatas, edited by Pianist Artur Schnabel, peerless Beethoven interpreter (Simon & Schuster, 2 vol., paperbound $5, clothbound $8). Pianist Schnabel contributes valuable fingering and pedal indications, argues over controversial points in long scholarly footnotes printed in French, German and English.
