Favorite 20th/21st Cent. Piano Sonatas

[stryke22]

Hi All,
New to the forum ... I am preparing for a performance in Oct. and would like to play a 20th/21st century piano sonata. Which are your favourites and why?

[coda_colossale]

Prokofiev's 7th.
Carl Vine 1.
Alban Berg.
I don't know why.

Kapustin pretty much all of them
Ie

More later but take a gander at his output :-)

I would say, Carl Vine no.1 sonata, Samuel Barber sonata, medtner sonata romantica, Leo ornstein sonata no.4, and if you're game, Sorabji Sonata no.1.

fun piece, been reading through it on and off over past few years, never actually put the book away which tells me my subconscious is really pushing for me to learn the thing already.  second mvmnt is my favorite, the scherzo (3rd mvmnt) could prove the most problematic from a technical spot, but the finale is probably the hardest to nail the light bouncy character.

first mvmnt

2nd mvmnt

3rd mvmnt

4th mvnt
