Schumann: Kreisleriana / Reubke: Pno Sonata

Schumann: Kreisleriana; Julius Reubke: Piano Sonata by Till Fellner. Till Fellner is an Austrian pianist hardly in the international spotlight, but he deserves praise for his masterful execution of Julius Reubke's "Piano Sonata in B-flat minor." Julius Reubke (1834-1858), like Tausig, was a Liszt pupil with enormous potential who died too early to make a significant mark on music history. In his Liszt biography, Alan Walker mentions that Reubke was Liszt's favorite pupil and that he was also considered a genius in the Liszt circle.
