Interpreted by SOLOMON
Sonata in C Minor, Op. 4
Part II. (c) Larghetto, (d) Finale-Presto
IN the Third Movement of his First Piano
Sonata, Chopin experimented with five-beats-to-a-bar. But, rather than any marked pulsation, he gives us a slow, smooth flow of indefinite rhythm. In this Movement there is much of that deep, meditative emotion which is often the essence of his quieter music.
The FOURTH MOVEMENT is a brilliant, rather lengthy Finale. Its chief features are the rhythmic beats and upward sweeps of the opening, and a rather severe, solemn, low-pitched tune heard a while later.
