Re Piano Sonata in F minor

[edit]

Dates are given as 1895-1903 here. Medtner.org.uk has 1902-3. Hyperion Records has 1901-3. Who has 1895? In the meanwhile writing a 1897 sonata and 1898 sonatina besides? (Yes, long gestations were hardly unknown with him- consider the piano quintet, which he seems to have begun writing as soon as he wrote the songs whose melodic cells can be heard throughout it - 1912 vs. ca.1913 (several of the Op.29 songs and probably others- which also appear in the sonata Op.27)...- before completing it in 1948...) Still, a source for a list is useful as for anything else... Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Martyn says it was completed in August 1903.[1] (just sort of as an aside, I suppose)Dave12121212 [talk] 08:57, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The 1895 seems to have come from IMSLP. — Dave12121212 [talk] 09:03, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
