Programmatic Piano Works
on: January 06, 2019, 04:35:30 AM
Hi, I am currently preparing two works - Janacek's Sonata 1. X. 1905 and Medtner's Sonata-Elegie. I am curious to know what other works (in any period) are programmatic that can I explore and build my repertoire.

p.s I play late-romantic and early-middle 20th century works best.
