Philipp Scharwenka - Viola "Fantasy" Sonata, Op. 106 (1899)

[@bag3lmonst3r72]

Whoa why is this not played more often?? People often make fun of the viola for being "dull"...they obviously haven't listened to this!! Stupendous

[@megabugginout]

It’s an old trope. People know now because of the internet.

What a gorgeous work this is! I am forever astonished at the amount of great music that goes neglected. Thank you for collecting so many little-known masterpieces on your channel.

[@pietrolandri6081]

That's a true masterpiece from Philipp. Intensely passionate and crisp

[@violinstar5948]

A beautiful Viola Sonata. Virtuosic and playable. Melodious with rich harmonies and chords. A fantastic find.

[@rjuttemeijer]

This is so beautiful. A true masterpiece. There are so few works for Viola solo. I love this piece.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Whoa! Those chords in the beginning I am just gonna put on repeat for a while.

[@danielm5535]

Immediately fell in love with this! Thank you!

Thank you for posting; especially with scrolling score.

[@delyar]

Wow, amazing piece

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Thank you for this wonderful treat. I do love the way you gradually introduce us to the various, not so well known composers :o)

[@pianomanhere]

What a fine piece of music ! Thanks for posting this. 😁

[@NewMusicWeekly]

Before on-demand streaming, when people had to buy tickets or records, the big name composers got more than their fair share of attention.

Molto bello complimenti grazie Maestro

[@viola1977]

Fantastisch! Warum spielt Man so selten ?

[@fordprefect2743]

Bartje ; Could you please upload some music from the baroque period ? Music from Some underrepresented composers of the baroque period.

[@bartjebartmans]

Your request is way too vague. Sometimes requests are good ideas, but I need composer, specific work and availability.

[@fordprefect2743]

@@bartjebartmans Jan Dismas Zelenka ; his trio sonatas , missa votiva in E minor , requiem in c minor , misere in c minor

[@fordprefect2743]

@Lunar Orbit yes ; Beiber's rosary sonatas and handel's suites are quite nice.

[@KayKeneetit]

More Rameau, please. 🙂

[@bartjebartmans]

@Ford Prefect Zelenka was under my radar, thanks for pointing him out. Missa Votiva is one of the master pieces of Baroque sacred music.

I have decided. The villa is way unred appreciated.
