Piano Sonata No. 2 (Kabalevsky)

Dmitry Kabalevsky's Piano Sonata No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 45 was composed in 1945 and dedicated to Emil Gilels. It is the most vast and dramatic of Kabalevsky's three sonatas. A War Sonata such as Sergei Prokofiev's trilogy, its first movement has been compared to that of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7.[1]

Movements
  1. Allegro moderato. Festivamente - Allegro molto - Festivamente (poco piú mosso del tempo I) - Largamente, drammatico.
  2. Andante sostenuto - Pochissimo piú mosso - Tempo I.
  3. Presto assai.
gollark: If you have some random authority decide who needs them, then... well, that won't really work very well - it doesn't scale to more complex things than allocating one resource, and that is obviously uncool central power.
gollark: If you just *ask*, everyone will go "yes, I really need a bee".
gollark: There is a difference between "want" and "need", and making it actually cost something to get something makes that more meaningful.
gollark: Generally, through markets.
gollark: If you could do that, they would not be scarce in the first place.
