Hello. I love your channel and what you do with the lesser known composers concept. The field of this classical music is so deep and to even be called a composer, one must have a very proficient grasp of the core tenets of music theory. I am a young composer, and I have been working on a set of three piano sonatas. They are written in the classical style. And they are my test pieces for my grasp on form and harmony, before I go into composing more serious and original things. I was wondering if, as your description says, I could share maybe one of these pieces from my set on this channel, so as to get some criticism and feedback from a wider audience than if I were to upload them myself? Please let me know where I can contact you further for this. Thank you!

Indeed
Gostei.
Very soulfully melodic but structurally not as ingenious.and a little too long. Still certainly it's worth a listen. Thanks.
Edouard Wolff wasn't Polish composer, but German composer of Jewish origin. Yes, he was born in today's Poland, but anyway.
As far as I know when Wolff was born in Warsaw in 1816 it was part of Congress Poland, which was actually part of the Russian Empire, so I suppose if anything he would have been Russian, not German. Every source I have seen, however, considers Wolff and other contemporary composers such as Chopin as being Polish.

Its great isn't it?
It actually feels much more similar to Thalberg in the textures presented.
@@zavilov Chopin, Prelude op. 28 No.2 (1838) immediately came to my mind when I had heard the first 4 measures, joined with Nocturne op. 27 No.1 (1835). There is some serious Chopin influence in there, and it would not be surprising by a Polish composer in 1872.
