- Klein was deported to Auschwitz in October 1944 and then to Fürstengrube, a coal-mining labour camp, in October 1944, less than two weeks after completing his string trio. He died under unclear circumstances during the liquidation of the Fürstengrube camp in January 1945. There is no copyright infringement intended.

was für faszinierende Harmonien! Diese stetige harmonische Wandlung fesselt enorm
Barenreiter is releasing an urtext edition of this later this year, by the way, along with an unpublished short work.
Beautiful! This Sonata reminds me Berg's piano sonata op.1...thanks for sharing!
Great! too bad he did not get to write more a real loss to music.
see Gideon Klein (1919-1945) was a pianist, composer, writer and educator. In his short life he combined a dizzying array of skills, experiences, musical styles
Very Bergian, technically on a high level. Not especially memorable or original but very, very talented.
Exactly what I think.
im zweiten Teil- Adagio - ist eindeutig auch Skrjabin zu hören
amazing. who plays?
Not only Bergian but a bit Szymanowski in its flow and motion
Is that Allen Sternfield playing?
He does not deserve to be forgotten just because the Nazis were having a bad day.
Please name the pianist.
We don't name names here!
This is closer to being a sonatina rather than sonata. At any rate, this is quite interesting.
Lots of sonatas are quite short like this: Scriabin's, Rautavaara's, many of Prokofiev, Feinberg, Fiser, Lewkovitch, Antheil, and Scarlatti as you know. I don't think there's much standards into that, at least we can tell a difference.
@@pjimenez08 I think the distinction between Sonatas and Sonatinas lies in the character. Sonatinas tend to be more of a miniature/caricature of an actual sonata
Klein has planed to write a 4th mouvement for this sonata (to be placed between 2 and 3) but hadn't enough time to do it. Only sketch of this 4th mouvement is kept.
It was actually Klein’s sister, who wrote the designation of ‘sonata’ in the manuscript of this piece. Presumably, Klein has referred to this as a sonata when showing parts of the piece to her, during its composition. Anyhow, it has been called a sonatina in some concert programs, during the late 40’s.
