Piano Sonata In G, Op. 37 played by Mewton-Wood
See also Friday at 6.0
Tchaikovsky wrote two piano sonatas: one in C sharp minor and one in G major. The former, written in 1865, was little more rhan a student's exercise and was not published until after his death (he had made use of its Scherzo in his First Symphony). The Sonata in G was composed in 1878, shortly after the Fourth Symphony, though its bright, energetic themes remind one rather of the Second Piano Concerto (in the same key of G), written two years later.
