World's Best Piece!
on: March 07, 2005, 05:55:34 AM
 ;D ;D ;D Has anyone ever heard of Julius Reubke? If not, here is a short bio (there is no such thing as a long one). Reubke was an amazing child prodigy in the romantic period, he was so good he was sent to Liszt. Liszt considered him to be one of his greatest pupils. Unfortunatly, he died at the age of 24 and thus, stopped composing :P. But! He left behind a few works for piano and organ, especially:

Sonata in B-!!! ;D ;D ;D (He based it on the Liszt Sonata, I think its better)

I think its pretty hard, sounds it! :P Anyone who has not heard it, find a recording!! There are few out there (a.k.a. 3!) But there is definately one at the https://www.classicalarchives.com/ under Reubke. Please reply if you share my opinion on this marvellous piece! ;D

In that event, I recommend that you modify your post with the CORRECT link.  Maybe?  Maybe not?   ;)
