Muzyka, n.d.(1985).

Editor

Vladimir Belov (1906–1989)

Publisher

Moscow: Muzyka, n.d.(1985). Plate 13013.

Misc. Notes

Based on 1952 ed. of G. Neuhaus and Vladimir Belov (1906—1989)
NB. This edition contains some notation errors: The "8" sign under a note always means "add the lower octave" in Liszt's notation. For example, the last note of the sonata should not be removed and placed one octave lower, as rendered in this edition, but the right way is to merely add the lower octave, thus ending the sonata in an octave chord. (cf. Henle editions)

Misc. Notes

scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning. I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.
