Piano Sonata (Reubke)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Sonata in B-flat minor is a work written by Julius Reubke between December 1856 and March 1857. Although it remains very obscure and is little performed (unlike the composer's Sonata on the 94th Psalm[1] for organ), it combines the Lisztian technique of thematic transformation, colourful harmonies, virtuosic piano writing and a wide array of characters and sentiments.
The sonata was published posthumously, edited by the composer's brother, in 1871.[2]
