Edward MacDowell - Piano Sonata nº1 "Tragica" (score video)

The Sonata Tragica opens intensely, with powerful Germanic pull. Its remorseless incline to the overwhelming is immediately undercut by a very skittish Scherzo (and the notes aver unconvincing in the context of the Sonata as a whole, with which opinion I have to agree). The re-imposition of Schumannesque-Lisztian power comes in the romanticised legato of the slow movement, topped by an "eroico" finale of rather more energy than real direction.
