I have been reviewing the Sonata Op. 1 by Alban Berg. I was supposed to perform it last year in P’town, but the gig fell through, and so I put it away. I pulled it out again a couple of days ago, and was struck with how much of a romantic work it is. I really like it! It is not yet ready to perform, but I get pleasure from listening to this rehearsal run-through from this afternoon.
I am also working on Bartok’s Suite Op. 14. I have posted a reading of the first movement, as well as a practise version of Fauré’s Prelude in F.
