Leander Ruprecht (DE) – Sonata in D minor / (2nd-version)
Leander Ruprecht über sein piano piece „Sonata in D minor / (2nd-version)“
“The piece makes reference to the third movement of the piano sonata no. 17, in D minor, by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is something like a shadow of the Beethoven corresponding sonata, as it uses the same time signatures as the Beethoven sonata and the ’stormy character‘, which can be achieved in my piece, by creating the anxious ’stormy‘ sound with the timpani mallets. The piece ends and starts with a slightly modified Beethoven quote. Sonata in D minor/(2nd version) can, or should be played after, or before the Beethoven piano sonata No. 17, in D minor.”
