Sonata for piano in B flat minor, Op. 20, written in 1820.
00:00 - I. Allegro con brio
05:38 - II. Scherzo (Allegro) - Trio
11:30 - III. Finale (Allegro con brio)
Voříšek's Sonata in B flat minor was written during the same period as Voříšek's Symphony in D Major and Mass in B flat Major, a time when his output had evolved to large-scale formats. The final movement of the B flat minor Sonata was published in Starck's "Klavierschule 1821", as a separate Rondo, to which Voříšek subsequently added the remaining parts. It was to be named 'Sonata quasi una fantasia', and was to begin on a slow introduction strongly resembling Beethoven's work of the same name - which was also probably why Voříšek eventually deleted it.
The first movement brings an interesting image of a musical "double": namely, two rhythmically identical yet contrasting themes. The work's harmonic layout is indeed bold for its time, the robust character of Scherzo in C sharp major (!) bearing strong connotations with orchestral sound. The final movement was originally destined for re-writing, as evidenced by its heavily crossed-out autograph score. In the end, however, it remained as it was - probably for the better, to be sure - a Scarlattian fast-flying dream, its bizarre leaps assigning it a spectral hue. The composition was dedicated to Josefine Wawruch, an outstanding pianist and the wife of Voříšek's - and, incidentally, Beethoven's - physician. It was published shortly after the composer's death. - Hudba
Vorisek is another tragic case of an extremely talented musician who died too young. I've known this sonata for over 40 years, thanks to this very recording. I believe this is a great work, not merely a very good one.
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

Delightful-- wonderfully written imaginative music. I'm sure he's a source of pride for my Czech friends.

Great stuff from the Czech Beethoven
Heh, that's a very precise description.
The scherzo is excellent!
It is Extraordinary sonata, very interesting, especial Its final! Very nice!
Thanks for uploading!
I've heard this before. : ) It's wonderful!
+limesquared Do you remember where? It's isn't that often performed unfortunately!
Heh ! Probably the local bookstore. Sometimes I leave bookstores more curious about the music they play than their books!
I love the coda of the last movement!
+Sebastien Traglia Yes this is a really good piano sonata! I wish people would choose to play a piece like this from time to time instead of always the same Beethoven sonatas...
+olla-vogala This style reminds me a lot of Dussek's piano sonatas (i love his sonata in f-sharp minor, op.61). They were both Czech
+Sebastien Traglia +olla-vogala, have either of you tried the works of Alberto Nepomuceno?

Yes, I think I heard a symphony and some other works by him.
There is Suite Antiga on fyrexianoff's channel if you ever have time to give him a shot. He is interesting because he is the first major Brazilian composer, from whom Villa-Lobos was influenced.
Can u play the one that's called Rondo by him? Pls
Wonderful sonata from a composer I never knew existed. I suppose I need to visit Wikipedia to get more background information.
+Harry Andruschak Vorisek wrote great piano works, and be sure to check out his Symphony in D major as well.
Check also out his great Rhapsodies for Piano opus 1. Great stuff!:)
waldstein-like :)
Too bad he only wrote one.
