You deserve a medal for uploading the works of Erwin Schulhoff! This composer should get more attention. Thank you very much!

[@oboist3]

This is a composer I think will get a lot more recognition than he has done since his death. Superb

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

This guy needs to be more well known! Brilliant music. Jazz meets classical---Love it!

[@FernandoMendoza-np9qb]

Schulhoff has made important contributions when it comes to narrowing the gap between the 'avant garde' art music and jazz/popular styles. Since Schulhoff there have been quite few composers who have prooved successful in continuing varying this gap. Shulhoff, unfortunately, died far to early, when his style was still under development.

oh, schnittke

[@stephenmitchell367]

This work is full of totally filthy harmonies and I absolutely LOVE it!! Written in 1930 - what an astonishing piece. Saved to my playlist. I know most of Schulhoff's orchestral work but this is a really welcome addition. Thank you so much for uploading.

[@artofmusic303]

Quite a nice piece from a composer that should get more recognition.

[@pedroa.cantero9449]

Con la dulzura de un canto amoroso y la duda burlesca de esos compases que desgrana el piano, esta "sonata caliente" nos lleva de la mano a espacios estelares como un juego de niños que se desenvuelve sin mayor traba que el juego mismo aunque nos mande al abismo. Allí, ya lejanos del escenario inicial, vamos explorando perplejos, tanteando, la inmensa burbuja desde la que percibimos el infinito a sabiendas de estar confinados en su esfera. Alegre danza de quien vuelve a tierra sabiéndose libre de ilusiones inalcanzables. ¿Por cuánto tiempo? Así va la vida. Metáfora de cuantos soñamos despiertos.

That first measure on the screen at 1:46 is so perfect and beautiful... I could listen to that single measure over and over again.

[@0live0wire0]

It's much in the vein of Paul Desmond with Dave Brubeck.

[@PianoScoreVids]

Then you should really listen to some Kapustin. His music is full of stuff like that

[@FoivosApostolou]

@@PianoScoreVids This is better than Kapustin

[@Squantle]

@@FoivosApostolou i would agree...

[@ChopinClassics]

@@FoivosApostolou I prefer Kapustin honestly but love this too.

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

What a shame this man is not more well known! What a brilliant composition this is! That 3rd mvt especially knocked me out. Just fantastic.

[@mirrors1]

Erwin was a genius

[@klausbaden]

Very good played! Thanks! A masterpiece!

[@tarikeld11]

The harmonics at 10:53, especially 11:00 are so good! And the section afterwards

[@berndschumannsvideos]

Beautiful!

[@martinguillermovadillogarc6187]

¡Exquisita!

[@REDR83]

I played this for my senior recital well over a decade now! This was the "easiest" piece on my program but it is deceptively difficult to out together with piano. We definitely rehearsed this one much more than the others. Thank you for uploading. If you are looking for another interpretation check out Harry Kinross White's recording.

[@ga199337]

Very interesting piece ! It reminds me of Ravel Violin Sonate mvt II. :) Thank you for your upload, of course Poulenc, too !

[@ecstrema]

OMG.11:05 Feel the chills

[@emrahkorkmaz87]

Like this very much!

Wat een prachtig stuk muziek !

[@Peculate]

Amazing composition. Erwin Schulhoff was Third Stream decades before Third Stream. There are so many great ideas here

[@niinaranta3014]

Erwin ♥ ♥ ♥

[@saxandme]

I have a old German saxophone school from about 1930. There is jazzimprovisation calles "Hot-playing".

[@florianbollot52]

on dirait du Steven Sondheim avant la lettre ! (sa musique pour le film " Stavisky) mais c est logique . cette oeuvre date de la fin des anees 20 )tres bien joué en tous cas . merci Leo van Oostrom et gerard Bouwguis!

[@PurreLojic]

WOW NICE THANK YOU NOW I CAN PLAY MY SONG

[@Nanananaheyhey1]

1:03 is very pretty and expressive.

[@stueystuey1962]

This filtered into my stream because I chose to listen some newly uploaded videos by Carter Pann and Phil Woods. The fantastic irony is that after all but giving up on those composers this starts up and I'm like yeah ok this is good. Glad I was patient. Only to find out it's my old friend Schulhoff and written or I should say in all fairness composed before those fools were born. This piece is in fact exquisite and a confirmation that the likes of these "modern" fellas are hacks. Look to Schulhoff or Ernst Pepping, Benjamin Lee's, Persichetti and Gershwin for some real swinging "serious" music.

[@huakinthoi]

Great work, with a touch of jazz in it. In a certain way it conveys the atmosphere of the ending Happy twenties. Do you know why the sonata is called hot?

[@edwilliams9914]

There is a lot of differing opinion about 'Hot' but a good place to start exploring is with Louis Armstrong and his early bands, the "Hot Five" (one in 1925, another in 1928) and his 1927 "Hot Seven". They are going to be very 'close to the source' in terms of both the music itself and the term for it. More here (and a lot more on KZbin!) -- enjoy! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong_Hot_Five_and_Hot_Seven_Sessions

[@soongsoong123]

3rd mov. reminds me to Gershwin's rhapsody in blue and Japanese animation; Hanada Shounenshi. :) this piece is very funny

[@elchnase]

Erwin Schulhoff was a classic example of "three strikes and your out!" He was a Gay, Jewish Communist. That qualifies for the 3 strikes and your out classification. He was a GREAT composer. The wrong man at the wrong time in the wrong place ( Nazi Germany, Pre-War Czechoslovakia.) The hot sonata is one of his best works. I like the Bass-Nachtigal for Solo-Contrabassoon.

[@aidanf8632]

How do you know he was gay?

[@elchnase]

@@aidanf8632 He was very open about his preferences to his friends and colleagues. He was NOT in the closet.

[@toothlesstoe]

Why should we care about his sexual proclivities or political leanings?

[@segmentsAndCurves]

@@toothlesstoe I think that is because it led to his death. That might have shortened his output, I think.

[@toothlesstoe]

@elchnase That would have been cringe if he had gone around town like an activist declaring his love for men, however.

[@deltasea4710]

Such an interesting ending haha

[@qalaphyll]

Maybe as a reference to jazz?

Great playing, ruined by a crap sound production team. Not enough piano in the mix.
