Piano Sonata No. 3 (Schumann)
The third Sonata Op 14 called "Concerto for piano without orchestra" was composed in 1836 and dedicated to Ignaz Moscheles, to whom in a letter he comments "what crazy inspirations one can have". Liszt believed that the work was rich and powerful. In 1853 Schumann revised the work and added a Scherzo as a second movement, which the performer could choose to play, or not play. In 1861 it was released into the hands of his student Johannes Brahms.
Movements
- Allegro brillante (F minor)
- Scherzo. Molto commodo (D-flat major)
- Quasi variazioni. Andantino de Clara Wieck (F minor)
- Prestissimo possible (F minor, ends in F major) The work, in general, is a typical sonata with some surprises such as Clara Schumann's andantino. The final movement is reminiscent of his Kreisleriana, op. 16. This movement ends with a coda in F major concluding the work in a brilliant and powerful way. Many pianists such as Vladimir Horowitz, Grigory Sokolov, and Maurizio Pollini have interpreted it.
