Xaver Scharwenka (1850-1924) was a Polish-German Pianist and Composer of Bohemian-Polish decent. He was the brother of Philipp Scharwenka, also a composer. Although he began learning to play the piano by ear when he was 3, Scharwenka did not start formal music studies until he was 15, when his family moved to Berlin and he enrolled at the Akademie der Tonkunst. Under Theodor Kullak, his pianistic skills developed rapidly, and he made his debut at the Singakademie in 1869.
Praised for the beauty of his tone, he became a renowned interpreter of the music of Frédéric Chopin. In 1886, he conducted the first in a series of orchestral concerts devoted to the music of Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt and Ludwig van Beethoven while continuing to tour extensively and play his works in collaboration with other artists such as the conductor Hans Richter and the violinist Joseph Joachim.
Among pianists who received some instruction from him were José Vianna da Motta, Fridtjof Backer-Grøndahl and Selmar Janson. There is no copyright infringement intended.

These two sonatas are both wonderful works as to be expected from . Scharwenka. Seta Tanyel is a truly astonishing pianist, displaying virtuoso musical technique. Her personality shows through in every bar she plays.

Marvellous Sonata for Piano, absolutely at the level of the greatest ones of the first Romanticism: incorporates stylistic elements from Chopin, Liszt, and also Brahms and Schumann, reaching a personal language, strong and fierce, full of passion and grandeur, especially in the magnificent last movement.
Thanks a lot for this beautiful video!
