Bedřich Smetana - Piano Sonata in G minor (1846)

Bedřich Smetana (2 March 1824 - 12 May 1884) was a Czech composer who pioneered the development of a musical style that became closely identified with his people's aspirations to a cultural and political "revival." He has been regarded in his homeland as the father of Czech music. Internationally he is best known for his opera The Bartered Bride and for the symphonic cycle Má vlast ("My Fatherland"), which portrays the history, legends and landscape of the composer's native Bohemia. It contains the famous symphonic poem "Vltava", also popularly known by its German name "Die Moldau" (in English, "The Moldau").

What an amazing Composition, very symphonic.
Top Notch!

[@carl.christiansson]

Didn’t expect to hear the 3rd movement from his famous piano trio in the last movement 😳

[@P_Martin_Lopez]

It surprised me too, at this very moment ... In fact, I thought that CZcams was showing me another video ...!!

[@Piflaser]

And in bar no 10 the Moldau.

Какая божественная музыка. Thank you! Never heard before, glad to opening composer to myself. Amazing.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Klaviersonate im lebhaften Tempo mit klar artikuliertem doch zugleich anmutigem Anschlag und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Wahrlich intelligenter und genialer Pianist!

[@Ramiarcat]

Non la conoscevo... Bellissima, sonata di stile Beethoveniano, l'ultimo beethoven!!!!

[@Wiilly]

Thank you so much! The fourth movement is just amazing.

Very much enjoyed listening ~ thank you!

Me gusto mucho, gracias por compartirla, es como muy orquestal...y nada fácil

[@somonerandom706]

Last movement of this sonata uses the same theme as the last movement of his piano trio

[@alexololo6644]

yeapp, in this article issuu.com/psoc/docs/smetana_pb_issuu

[@IQSD-zs6qn]

He uses same rhythm for the section. After the section changes, the rhythm changes. So it's like a story.

fantastic!

[@francobonanni3499]

Fantastic why is this sonata not famous? The repeated notes in the third mov. Seem Scarlatti. This sonata has the same qualities of Mendelssohn and Brahms why is it not famous?

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

This was composed before the liszt and Brahms sonatas. Underrated composer? (About his piano pieces )

[@bartjebartmans]

To me this Sonata reminds me of Beethoven's Bagatelles.

This part reminds me of the tune Darryl Hannah whistled in the film, "Kill Bill: Volume One".
