Ignacy Krzyżanowski - Piano Sonata in Bb-Minor Op. 45 (Lamy)

Ignacy Krzyżanowski - Sonata fortepianowa b-moll Published in 1882 Pianist: Laurent Lamy 0:00 - I. Grave - Allegro con brio 9:43 - II. Andante cantabile 17:05 - III. Vivace Ignacy Krzyżanowski was born in Opatów, but he moved to Kraków to study with Franciszek Mirecki and later moved to study at the Paris Conservatory. He was a contemporary of Chopin, whom he met on a few occasions (There may be evidence that he took lessons from Chopin too). Like Chopin, his output was focused on the piano. Soon after moving to Warsaw, he quickly garnered a reputation as an excellent teacher as well. Nowadays, he is recognized mostly for his work in publishing music. His sonata represents his most substantial attempt at composing, and from it we can gleam a common idiom with Chopin and (perhaps more distantly) Alkan. Of course, the work comes to us almost 30 years after Liszt's groundbreaking Sonata in B-Minor and almost 40 years after Chopin's sonata in the same key. We can hardly expect every composer to be an innovative visionary, but the sonata does not depart from the decades-old style it is indebted to. Though, after all of the musicology is put aside and Krzyżanowski is allowed to speak for himself, his sonata proves to be a very touching, genuine attempt at the genre.
