Elliott Carter - Piano Sonata, I Maestoso download song

Someone every serious composer has to study

Oustanding pianist! and what a piece!, its a great loss they´re not among us anymore

do you have the Paul Jacobs recording of Night Fantasies?

Good interpretation, i also strongly recommend the Charles Rosen and Winston Choi ones.

This is my favorite thing by Carter so far.
