The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music

Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

What do you think of those piano sonatas?
on: January 05, 2013, 12:09:11 PM
Hi there! I have recently started listening to obscure piano sonatas from the romantic/late romantic era and I have come across these very nice works:

Bortkiewicz 1st piano sonata
Rubinstein 1st piano sonata
Stenhammar 4th piano sonata
Grieg piano sonata
Novak piano sonata (eroica)
MacDowell piano sonatas

There are many more but those are my favourites... What do you think of them? Do you like them?
What do you think of their structure and their melodies?
