Looking for pieces similar to a Shostakovich Fugue
on: November 01, 2005, 03:05:20 AM
I absolutely love the mood expressed in his 22nd Fugue from his 24 Preludes and Fugues.
Is there anything out there that sounds somewhat like this?

Here's a Toccata and Fugue in C major by Liapunov, a student brought it back for me from Russia a few years ago; planning to use it as the opener for my 06/07 recital, which will be all Russian music. You need to have a sostenuto pedal that works to play this; hope you like it...you might be able to find it for free at pianolibrary.ru, or you can buy it for peanuts at everynote.com look under Liapunov, don't know why I can't link directly to it.... :P ::)
