Balakirev Sonata No2 1st Movt
on: July 18, 2010, 01:09:20 PM
A subtley difficult work. There is a page arrangement issue in this performance (8 pages, so I have to read 4 + 4). In the change over there was a problem with comes up as 2 big pauses before and after the cadenza....forgive me, please.

Thank you for sharing.  I have never heard this sonata before.

Advice: be careful with your touch; your fingers are sloppy and labored and it comes out sounding jagged.  Be smooth.
