Chopin piano sonata no. 1 in c minor, movement 1 Video

Chopin is believed to have composed his first piano sonata in 1828, when the composer was 18 and studying with Józef Elsner. It is one of chopin's least appreciated works, and certainly the least "famous" of his piano soantas, with some critics addressing the work as Chopin's least creative work.

The music comprises of four movements, the first being an allergro in "sonata form" (which is technically more demanding than the rest of the work), the second being a menuetto, then an adagio followed by a presto for the finale.

Noshirm: I've loved this neglected sonata ever since I heard it played by Nikita Magaloff years ago. Who is the pianist here?

Counterten0r: I'm afraid I am not currently aware of who the pianist is, though I shall attempt to discover.

Noshirm: Please do! I had heard a recording by a young Russian pianist of this Sonata on a BBC disc some months ago. It was a powerhouse performance that made a strong case for the inclusion of this piece in the concert repertoire. Thanks again! (:-D)

uhartchristian: I do like this interpretation. it is a mature pianist playing. could it be the emil guilels version?
