3) Sonates pour le Piano, composées ... par Louis van Beethoven. Edition revue, corrigée, metronomisée et doigtée par Ch Czerny, published by Simrock in the years 1856-68.
4) Sonates pour le piano, composées par Louis van Beethoven. Nouvelle Edition tres correcte. Metronomisée par I. Moscheles. Braunschweig: Meyer (1828-1843), and Beethoven's Works.
