I can't listen to music for hours after listening ot this sonata. It's a very grave, and magnificent piece :)

@hjuniform and I have to admit that Kissin makes me cry every time!

One special note is sometimes more than enough make someone cry !



When played correctly, as Kissin does abundantly, the ending is one of the most arresting, spellbinding, mesmerizing in all of piano literature. I'm literally on the edge of my seat as Kissin concludes the piece. This is brilliant composing, and brilliant playing.

Having read Brendel's essays on this coda, it becomes clear that Liszt added the end years after "finishing" this piece. Thank god that for once Liszt was uncapricious enough to properly tailor and finish a piece. The result is sublime. Hurray to second thoughts!!!
