They are sold online at the sorabji archive. His stuff is pretty hard to find on the internet, but I do have the sheet music for the first sonata, pm me and I can send it.
Mr. Hamelin is so adventurous in the music world and definitely, he's very much bored with Baroque, Romantic or even Modern shits until he decided to play Sorabji..
It's impressive in it's way but having checked out clavembalisticum and now this, i see why Sorajbi is a peripheral figure in the classical music world and always will be. How many people people are seriously going to choose this over Rachmaninov, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel..etc etc It seems his music all has the same 'hellish' flavour, exxciting for a fe wminutes, but then..hell.. it's always like that! No change.
It has taken me awhile to come to grips with his tonal style. It is so freely conceived that you must concentrate a great deal to really get something out of it. That being said, the music is excruciatingly difficult to perform, and recordings will not give it justice, it must be heard live.
OK, is the chord at 0:03 a joke? I have the sheet and you cannot possibly play this chord unless you have 3 hands or someone else to help you do half of it...
I'm thinking that you just need to choose a voicing of the chord that you can comfortably play, it is a G natural, Ab, Bb, D, and E, and the rest is just an octave doubling of the bottom 3 notes.
You know, I was thought they were talking about the chord in the previous measure, with all naturals. For the one with the flats, you'd probably have to use your thumb to play the bottom 3 notes and spread out your fingers to play the rest, or something like that.
Stunning performance. I have this piece on CD and i have the complete score for his first 2 sonatas. The ending for this piece requires so much agility of the wrists and much endurance. The octaves are never-ending with Sorabji here. But Hamelin makes it all sound easy. =)
that was frightening. felt like a horror movie!

It sounds like Sorabji really liked the effect of harmonizing synthetic scales, it seems to be a recurring method in his works.

Yes that make sense. Thanks for the reply and thanks again for the video!

That's what you use the palm of your hand for. If you have his 3rd Sonata you'll see he has you play 10 notes with one hand at least once.

Really? That's very impressive. Is there somebody who recoarded this sonata? I would like to listen to it.

How do you use the palm of the hand to play that chord?
