Bernhard wins! :D

Written between 1912 and 1913, this one movement sonata is one of the spookiest pieces in piano repertory. Scriabin notoriously never played it piece, since he didn't understand why he wrote it in the first place--He said he wrote it in a "sinister fit."

Anywho... Bernhard, does this piece fall into the baroque era?

No.

It is not baroque.

But I will say this: A whole bunch of composers did it, but only this one is remembered today.

yep, that was an obvious cryptic statement.... and it helps that right now I am doing a comparative analisis of Beethovens Diabelli variations with variations by another bunch of composers such as Reis, Humboldt, Kullak, etc. etc. etc.


Anyways.... here is my cryptic statement:

Many say the true origins of this piece were in the death of a spouse.

(Is that how you spell spouse? My english is not 100% you see....)

Damn, you made the only question that could actually clarify this statement a bit more. Actually, the dead spouse was not related to the composer.

Was the piece specifically comissioned (say, by the living spouse) to honour the memory of the dead spouse?
