Mosolov - Piano Sonata No. 4 Op. 11 (Part 1/2)

Part one of Mosolov's single-movement Fourth Piano Sonata (1925).

Alexander Mosolov (1900-1973) was a part of the Soviet Avant-Garde prominent in the 1920s. He was oppressed by the RAPM (Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians) for writing inaccessible and highly pessimistic music; i.e., not conforming to Soviet Realism. By 1929 his compositions were banned and in 1936 he moved to Central Asia to collect folk music. From then until his death, Mosolov abandoned his earlier compositional style and wrote tame often folk-inspired works.

Sounds like where Chopin would've gone if he lived for 200 years. Great music.
