Piano Sonata in B minor, S. 178
by Franz Liszt
PianoRomanticSonata~30 minprofessional
The greatest single-movement sonata ever written. Liszt fuses sonata form, four-movement structure, and thematic transformation into one continuous 30-minute arc. Dedicated to Robert Schumann (who fell asleep during its premiere). The fugue section and the whispered closing bars are among the most remarkable passages in piano literature.
