Feinberg - Piano Sonata No. 6 (Part 1/2)

[MJE112358132134]

I've been interested in 19th- and 20th-century piano music for decades, including some of the Russians; I love Scriabin, Rachmaninov, and lots of others. I've just discovered Feinberg on this site, and wondered how I've gone through life for so long without knowing this music. What incredible music this is - totally overwhelming and stunning. I can't believe any human being is able to play this music! Feinberg needs to be resurrected as a significant 20th-century composer.

If you enjoy Feinberg...explore Michael Finnissy's piano music.

Some of the most moving music I've ever encountered. Absolutely stupendous.

6:06 is so intense, it sounds like a roaring dragon. EPIC!

Where did you get the scores to these sonatas?

[xodn3300]

I love it! especially the rich bass sonority like at 6:27 Too bad I'm not good enough to play any of his sonatas.

[KeithWhalen11]

4:24 is just spine-tingling. A masterpiece indeed!

[Neongrapes]

Yep. This is a work of genius. Total masterpiece.

[Barqu3ntine]

A masterpiece indeed. Why isn't Feinberg's work recorded everywhere...?

[Reaper978]
