I have been unsuccessful in my attempts in finding an URTEXT edition of the Kuhulau Sonitinas. I am grateful in having an edition of the complete sonatinas of Friedrich Kuhlau. The fingerings in this edition are mostly helpful without being too disruptive. The price is unbeatable and I believe it would be the best edition if it were more sparse in the editorials made; there are far too many slurs, phrasing, and staccatos that can overwhelm the eyes. I have also noticed some rhythmic alterations. On a good note, Schirmer is one of a few publishers to publish a complete set of the sonatinas. The pieces are accessible for late intermediate to early advance pianists.
This book has the nice new Schirmer laminated cover, the book lies open easily at the piano. The print is slightly smaller than my very old edition, but not hard to read. Great value! (Revised and Fingered by Ludwig Klee is not something new, my 1893 edition says the same thing).
I have been a fan of Schirmers piano music for 40 years. This is way better than the old Schirmers. The book has an easy to clean cover and the music is way easier to read. Pops off of the page.Kuhlau has remained the same. His music is fresh, with a hint of his friend Beethoven.
