Muczynski
on: January 02, 2006, 06:37:39 PM
I need to find a good modern piece, and am thinking that Muczynski's 2nd Piano Sonata is interesting.  I've not heard it.  Has anybody played this one?

Thanks, Boliver!

What about Desperate Measures - Paganini Variatons?  It's shorter. Maybe I should do that?  How difficult is the sonata?

and by the way - there is a pair of cd's with Muczynski playing Muczynski - I just ordered them, so I don't know how good they are, or even if the second sonata is on it. but it's through Laurel records, is anyone is interested.
