Here's the first movement.. Elsewhere on my channel is the 2nd movement from a live performance. I recorded this for a competition audition DVD a couple years ago. Hope you enjoy! As always, comments are encouraged.

Beautiful. I don't know the Sonata well so there's not much else I can say, but I really enjoyed it!

really outstanding! you manged a clarity that is difficult enuogh undrer ideal conditions, and here's you're dealing with an interesting mix of no so acoustically friendly survfaces with a very bright piano (relative to the normal ss sound we usually hear). thanks for sharing your talent. i have no spefic rep comments as i am not super familar with the work, just a superfical knowledge and understanding of 'passing' listens from time to time.

This Sonata IS the 'subilme': you're very brave to measure yourself with such a masterpiece. But you did a great job indeed!!! Post the Arietta, please, if you have recorded it. After hearing Arrau's performance, I worship it as one of the peaks of the entire piano literature....

Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet. Here, in conversation with Piano Street at Liszt Utrecht 2026, he shares his vision. Read more
