This is a Soler Sonata. I haven't heard of this composer until I played this piece. Padre Antonio Soler lived from 1729 until 1783, so he composed in a pre-classical style. His sonatas (this sonata at least), are one movement, like the Scarlatti sonatas.

Anyways, this recording is not very good (many mistakes) but please listen and critique. I just wanted to do something different from the regular romantic composers.

I rerecorded it b/c I wasn't satisfied with the first one!

It took me over 2 and a half hours to make this recording, so PLEASE listen!

I listened to the second recording...

Overall not bad.

There were a few spots where the left hand sounded a little ... i dunno... forced (?) (Around 00:29-00:31, and then whenever that phrase repeats) to my ears.

Personally I would have also liked more dynamic contrast.

On the whole nice playing.

Hi,

Thanks for listening! There is a passage in the left hand that is a bit difficult, and I it does sound somewhat forced, yes.

Please more comments!
