Book Synopsis Liszt: Sonata in B Minor by : Kenneth Hamilton

Download or read book Liszt: Sonata in B Minor written by Kenneth Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-28 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liszt's B minor Sonata is now regarded as his finest work for piano, and one of the pinnacles of Romantic piano music. This handbook opens with a survey of Liszt's early attempts at sonata composition - which include some well-known pieces that, hitherto, have been unrecognised as sonata forms - and clears away some of the persistent myths regarding programme music in Liszt's output. In the central chapters, built around an analysis of the B minor Sonata, Kenneth Hamilton discusses various interpretative approaches, arguing that the contradictory writings on the subject stem from the deliberate formal ambiguity of the piece itself - one reason for its perennial fascination, perhaps. The book concludes with a chapter on the performance practice and the performing history of the work, which should be of particular interest to pianists.
