I had dislocated my left shoulder when I was a junior in college. I had to set aside piano for a couple of months, but didn't want to stop playing. I looked into one handed repertoire and found a few things for the right hand alone.
As a result of searching I came across this score in the library and decided that I would play it once my left shoulder was healed.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece with us! It is not only impressive how you play Reinecke but how you play a piece that is virtually unknown. Did you just go get the score to this and start playing it or did you here a performance of it and then decided to learn it?
Thanks much! Glad to see another Reinecke fan. There are a few pre-Wittgenstein things. The Count Zichy has a sonata for the left hand too...but I don't know if it's published--might only be in manuscript. It's been ranked along side this sonata. Maybe someday.
Well done. It's nice to see someone do Reinecke now and then, as he really was a decent composer. And who would have thought there was such fine pre-Wittgenstein music for the left hand?
I've always had a taste for the obscure. Part of the reason I looked deeper into this work when I first came across it.

How does it feel to know that you are possibly the only pianist to have this in there repertoire?

I had not heard a performance of it until my own!
Thanks again!
