Piano Sonata No.4, Op.128

Description

“Extremely positive in nature” has been said to describe the character of Piano Sonata No. 4, Op. 128. The energy of this four-movement sonata is derived from its maestoso first movement executed with feelings of happiness – and proceeded by its molto energico e presto second movement – performed with joy and excitement. The third movement, expressive and packed with emotion and rubato, guides the student into the fourth movement, titled Toccata, a work presented with boundless energy! This movement may also be performed as a separate piece. National Federation 2011 -2012 Very Difficult Class II (Mvt II or III).
