@LeftRight i like its sense of brevity and whimsy, as well as some of the colours it manages to evoke. the harmonic and rhythmic language really work well together too

[@mikekarren5010]

Reminds me more of Stravinsky, there are some beautiful phrases, and the spirit is driving and lifting, in my humble opinion. I just listened to the 1st Shostakovitch sonata before this, and harmonically this is tame in comparison. I love those descending scale passages.

[@phoebedraper3046]

Shostakovich's sonata is a beast thats for sure

[@Cubanbearnyc]

Wonderful piece and composer, his preludes and fugues are very interesting as well

[@HerrMichaelKohlhaas]

Very cool piece. I like how he brings back the opening theme from the 1st mvt. towards the end of the 3rd.

[@douwemusic]

Intensely Stravinsky, some Prokofiev. I love it!

[@nostalgicmodernist1399]

What a lively, wonderful piece! Thanks for putting it up with the score.

[@Cubanbearnyc]

....Really interesting Sonata, which is not always the case for modern music.

[@Cubanbearnyc]

Great piece !

[@brynbstn]

Very well composed, the highest craftsmanship, and unlike a lot of modern composers, every minute is enjoyable. In terms of artistic heritage, I sense Prokofiev the most, in fact I believe there is direct reference in the 3rd mvmt. Not to say it's not Original... it is!

[@mytchilla]

Thanks for upload, and, it was composed in 1962.

[@cordeiropascoal]

This articulated pianism, often percussive, with open ninths in the left hand and percussive seconds and clusters, reminds me of Ustvolskaya - but Shchedrin sounds refreshing, while she sounds depressing

[@MicoAquinoComposer]

The intro reminds me of Evgeny Kissin's Dodecaphonic Tango! Amazing piece :)

[@theodorelioliousis3460]

rock n roll!

[@strav12]

Brilliant - how the heck did you get 15 mins out of YT?! Dude!

[@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji]

Ну смотри, мне кажется, что профессионалам платят по 10 000 рублей за задачу. Я думаю, что это исключительно хорошо сыграно. Я не узнаю имя пианиста. Вы не подружились в своем жилом доме, занимаясь этой музыкой. Спасибо, что защищали человеческий идеал совершенства.

[@tonylogan4092]

Wasn't Shchedrin the piano player in the Peanuts comic strip? ...lol...

[@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin]

Sorry for composer: because my hands are so small, I can't even play ninths from the beginning properly...

[@yannpartamier6999]

sublime tu nous le refais en midi ?

[@ZINSSTAG]

En effet il y a du Chostakovitch et du Bartok là-dedans, mais c'est bien foutu et académique, du solide quoi, mais quand je songe à Scelsi ou Ligeti ou même Boulez, quel monde les sépare ! Peut-être l'isolement de l'URSS avec le monde occidental ?

[@renatofabbro5263]

Great piece, but I wish the pianist wouldn't be so careless with the rests (1:13).

[@davidmehnert6206]

A perfect reflection on Marxist-Leninist society in its idealized realization in Soviet form, and the triumph of the artist in 1962. No wonder that so many American politicians of Republican... conviction... so deeply long for its hasty return, with their Dear Leader installed in the White House, consonant with Putin’s backing and moral support. Vive le Proletariat, Comrades!! You are among them, of one accord with the “Prole-Life Movement” you have so faithfully shepherded to its logical, inevitable conclusion. No need for key signatures, it’s all and everything in C from now on!! From C to shining C... And on and on and on... Let Schedrin (and B.) be your guide, the Master of your Margaritaville...

[@davidmehnert6206]

And take note of how deftly the second movement responds to Beethoven’s late piano works, notably referencing Sonata #30 (Opus 109) and several of the Diabelli Variations. Accurate scholarship can unearth the whole groundplan... get cracking!!

[@brynbstn]

geesh dude, chill

[@stueystuey1962]

Relax, but I feel ya.

[@jtwolfe4693]

David Mehnert what the hell are you talking about lol

[@marcusatiusvirilis7723]

What does any of that mean?
