Eine Sonate in das Album von Frau M. W., for piano in A flat, WWV 85 (1853)
Tempo indications: Ruhig – Ruhig wie vorher – Nach und nach wachsende Bewegung – Erstes Zeitmaß
German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883) wrote several piano sonatas, most in his youth and another in 1853. This is the latter work, a sonata in a single movement. It is recognizably in Wagner’s Romantic musical idiom, unlike his early sonatas, which are overshadowed by the language of Beethoven.
Pianist: Nina Kavtaradze
