Mendelssohn's third piano sonata, clearly inspired to another op. 106, Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" (same tonality, similar opening, etc.), but nevertheless rich in personality.

I. Allegro vivace
II. Scherzo: Allegro non troppo
III. Andante quasi allegretto
IV. Allegro molto

Enjoy :)

  • Mendelssohn was good in E major---And you can tell this movement was definitely inspired by Beethovens OP 109 1st mvt.

  • @BustaBeet lol i read "a bacon of wisdom" xD

  • The slow movement is beautifully and insightfully played by Magaloff. More should comment on the pianist's fine performance! He lets his inner musical sense dictate how he interprets, even if contrary to score markings. The opening of the Andante recalls one of Henselt's Etudes, op. 2. Just as divas often tire of performing music which plumbs the emotional depths and become more attune to the celebratory and easeful flowing aspects, Mendelssohn's disposition led him early in that direction.

  • @mrbrianmccarthy I agree with what you wrote...And this is the truth! Liszt's mature compositions were composed in the second half of the XIXth century. The beautiful Liebestraüme date from 1850 and it is obvious L. was influenced by some of M.'s songs without words. Actually Liszt wrote the symphonic poems, the faust symphony, also from 1850's, which are masterpieces, and are the execptions to what I said in my previous comments...!

  • @mrbrianmccarthy you sir, are a beacon of wisdom
