Goodness gracious, the finale! Sans pareil... in terms of energy and fierceness, it even exceeds the finale of Blumenfeld’s Sonate-Fantasie Op.46! Absolutely jaw-dropping. I completely forgot about the passage of time while listening to it. What a crown jewel... Thank you so much for this upload!
@@lorenzopone869 Hey, just saw that someone just posted it. Maybe I'll end up doing a video with all 4 MacDowell sonatas, but until then you can check that one. I'll probably upload the Eroica next, since it seems no one has made a video of it.
morrison takes that 3rd mvt wayyyyyy too fast imo i already personally think the indicated tempo of 152bpm is too fast, but he approaches 160bpm in that opening and oh my GOD he completely rushes through the climax right before the restatement of the 1st mvt theme

I've read that this was Edward's favorite of his piano sonatas. The last movement is very exciting!
mac dowell is truly underrated
Wow! Simply amazing
I’ve been waiting a long time for this to appear on TH-cam.
Glad to hear that! I'm also planning on posting the Eroica, since that one doesn't seem to be on TH-cam in this format either.
@@CharlioXD I would personally especially care for the Norse Sonata, which was the first to be dedicated to Grieg.

@@CharlioXD thanks a lot! Lovely, from Salzburg!
@@CharlioXD A video with all four would be awesome

Maravilloso
Epic
kind of reminscent of grieg rachmaninoff and franck and liszt
Very interesting piece, I suggest Constance Keene's recording as well
I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey! I've searched for the recording but I can't seem to find it. Do you have a link to it?
It could be a concerto and it would have the same power
Loba 6969 -- Truly....it's a Colossus....Who knew? BRAVO from Acapulco!
The textures are definitely very orchestrat-able, blocky and the runs are quite doable by woodwinds.
Stupenda!
Lots of pointless romanticism and lack of coherency and contrapunctal ability.
Amen Brother, I love Brahms and Mendelssohn
Which works/composers do you actually like? Just genuinely interested
@@CharlioXD Bach, Mozart, Woelfl, Haydn, Scriabin, Chopin.
@@Whatismusic123 lol, Skriabin among these oldbags?
