For example, I don't like how he treated the second theme, so choppy. But was the sonata an early work? I can hear, Rachmaninoff, very obvious Scriabin 3rd sonata, and Liszt in it. It's surprising that so many universities students only play Rach, Liszt, but this work deserves to stand side by side with some of their works!
I'm think the pianist could've brought more of the lyricism of the music. Nonetheless, I'm very thankful that you've went through so much trouble to post such greatly underappreciated music. I'm especially a fan of Stanchinsky now!
oh my GOd, this piece is so beautiful in its sense, i just found it just now, i feel bad because this piece is not that popular, huhuhu, if it is just popular it would sure be a hit..this is really nice.. can anyone suggest some unpopular pieces which sound as beautiful as this or more beautiful than this, i really want to hear some..thanks..
@RicAbapo The first movement of Alkan's Symphony for Solo Piano, perhaps 500 or more times and I still listen every week if possible. Each time I can't believe it could be written; as well, that Stanchinsky found his. There is Anatol Liadov, mostly orchestral efforts, Kikimora, Enchanted Lake, Musical Snuffbox, Baba Yaga, many others no one knows of, rich, deep, fabulous.
@YouKnowTheyExist thanks.. "i know they exist", we just have to find them..hahahaha.. thank yopu so much, am'ma gonna listen to them sometime..thanks...hugs..
I discovered this music thanks to you, and I can't thank you enough... This is SO beautyful, such a wonderful music... Please, keep it up! I'm looking forward to discover some more music! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
This is one of my favorite Sonata's that Stanchinsky wrote. Definitely early Scriabin-ish. Did he write any more sonatas that are reminiscent of early Scribian, or that are more traditional early romanticism?
Great piece, I love that haunting, intense Russian late-romantic style. Stanchinsky seems like quite a mysterious and troubled figure. Your short bio reminded me of Alkan and Ervin Nyiregyhazi.
Actually, when I wrote about Stanchinsky being an eccentric composer, I was going to use the phrase "Like Alkan, Stanchinsky..." because you're right - there is a resemblance, especially since both died so mysteriously.
Nice! I never bother uploading much of this music because I'm sure you'll do it. It took you a while for the Stanchinsky! Will I see Toch anytime soon?
I assume you mean Ernst Toch; I have a CPO label recording of his piano music but can't remember if I listened to or it not... Do you recommend it? Regardless, I don't have any scores so it's very doubtful that I'll get to Toch.
Right now my primary focus, as you can see, is Russian piano music, so you can expect Alexandrov, Myaskovsky, a few single uploads from Lourie and Weprik (second sonata), Ornstein, and Feinberg's First PC since I've acquired a score.
Wow, this is beautiful.

Such a sad death for such a great composer, who could've became so much more popular.
