The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Roman numerals in Schabel's Beethoven
on: December 20, 2003, 05:52:38 PM
Hi,
I just bought a copy of Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata, edited by Arthur Schnabel.  I noticed that he often puts sequences of Roman numerals above measures (in order I, II, III, IV etc.) but I can't figure out why.  I looked over some Schnabel editions of other Sonatas and saw the same thing.  Can anyone explain what these are supposed to mean?
Thanks,
Chris
