Busoni Sonatina Seconda

Who knows anything about this piece? Is it difficult? Is it nice? Anyone got the sheetmusic for it?

No, I haven't heard it but I'd love to. Busoni, although perhaps not the most ingenious composer ever, always fascinates me....and you just HAVE to admire his skills as a pianist and trascriber...the Bach transcriptions are incredible, for one thing. I'd like to feature a few of his pieces in a recital, but I have no idea which ones in particular; maybe the sonatina would be a good option.

I also understand that he wrote a piece or a set of pieces called the "Winterreigen" or something similar...am I thinking of the right composer? I'd like to know if anyone's heard this.
