Description

This sheet features a solo version of the 1865 sonata, accompanied by historical and performance notes. Dr. Hinson remarks on the sonata's overall concept and structural intricacies, highlighting Grieg's undeniable talent. He notes that the composition is well-crafted, exhibiting a Schumannesque quality, and is technically challenging, foreshadowing the sophisticated piano style found in the A Minor Concerto, Op. 16, composed three years later. The sonata consists of four movements: Allegro Moderato, Andante Molto, Alla Menuetto ma poco piu lento, and Molto allegro (Finale).
