xx Favorite Sonata in B minor interpretations? suggestions?
June 20, 2011, 06:48:45 PM by mjin1


I really think Andre Watts's interpretation of this piece is awesome, but I'm trying to find a few other interpretations to listen to.

I keep reading that Evgeny Kissin's interpretation is awesome, has he recorded this piece? I can't seem to find a CD of his with Sonata in B minor on it.

Any other interpretations you guys like of Liszt's Sonata in B minor?

xx My thoughts on studying Liszts B-Moll sonata part 1
September 03, 2010, 01:48:13 PM by mila5405

Its a very challenging work. Unfortunately im not so gifted that I can play through the whole piece an make music. No this sonata turns me into an underdog struggling with every page every measure. Liszt is very straightforward , no suppressed feelings like chopin, no drama behind the curtains its up and down like a rollercoaster.
Ive got the Edition Peters Edition
Page 1
No so technically demanding but hard to interprete the 7 first measures. Something evil lurking in the dark or walk over a graveyard. I know that Liszt read a lot of litteratur. Im not that familiar whith Goete, Schiller Hartmann Nietche so im thrust my instincts instead. Its like a good old Greece Drama with Good  Evil Love Passion Hate Backstabbing and comtemplative feelings . A fairly good mix to makew this sonata intresting.

Page 2
This page lays easy under the hand. I neccessary to no to reach the climax prematurely, so you really have to begin in piano with intensity.
The last 3 measures of the page calls for attention. Follow the pedalmarks, good balance between right an left hand, the big leap in the left hand between second last and last measure etc. Here the metronome is a good support!

Back with more if someone inrested!/mike

xx Alkan's Sonata and Liszt's Sonata: Similarities
August 28, 2010, 05:46:15 AM by orangesodaking

There are some similarities between the second movement of Alkan's Grande Sonate Op. 33 (1846) and Liszt's Sonata in B Minor S. 178 (1853). I explored these and made a video comparing some parts I found similar.

I'm not saying Liszt totally ripped Alkan, but I am fairly certain that these are not coincidences.

Enjoy!

xx Two Big Sonatas
April 14, 2010, 01:30:47 AM by chopianist123

I was wondering, in your opinions is Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata or Liszt's Sonata in B Minor more difficult to tackle technically? How about Musically?

Which of these two great sonatas do u prefer personally?

Thanks for your answers.

xx Liszt Sonata in B minor - HELP ME PLEASE
July 14, 2009, 01:09:44 PM by fenz

I'm learning Liszt Sonata in B minor now. The term 'non legato' in bars 240 and 255 confused me. Is it mean that the right hand in bars 240 until 254 and the left hand in bars 255 until 276 play 'a little staccato' (sorry, I don't know exactly term of that)? And how about bar 277? Is the right hand play legato again or still non legato?

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
