Samuil Feinberg - Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 2

Samuil Feinberg's second piano sonata comes from 1915-16, shortly after his return to Moscow from the war. He was 26 years old when completing this work. His music is heavily influenced by Scriabin, one of his idols. The structure of this sonata is a fairly traditional single-movement sonata form. The exposition is mostly dominated by the principal theme until the onset of the development section when an accompanimental quintuplet figure is introduced (3:54). The quintuplet figure is combined with the principal theme and the two continue to develop well into the recapitulation. Some scholars have noted the similarity in structure of this sonata to Medtner's D Minor Sonata, Op. 11, No. 2. Medtner and Feinberg use a technique akin to the thematic transformation technique usually associated with Liszt. Both Medtner and Feinberg repeat their principal themes several times with varying textures, harmony, and in the case of Feinberg increasingly complex rhythmic values as the pieces progresses. The Coda (7:33) seems to return to the simplicity of the opening, and features one last chorale-like version of the principal theme. The piece is littered with ritardandos, accelerandos, and colorful expressive markings which reflect the composer's own pianism. Feinberg was one of the finest pianists of his day; he was the first to perform both books of the Well-Tempered Clavier in Russia from memory (1911). He was also known to have performed the complete sonata cycles of Beethoven, Schumann, and Scriabin. He served as professor at the Moscow Conservatory alongside his own teacher Alexander Goldenweiser and Heinrich Neuhaus from 1922 until his death in 1962. Sean Cavanaugh, piano
