Richter, Sviatoslav

Composed by: BEETHOVEN, L.,Sviatoslav Richter (piano)

Piano Sonata No.31; Diabelli Variations,

A sophisticated program, inspired by the same muse, in which Richter demonstrated, without any posturing, what Beethoven owed to Bach. He secretly and simply summarized it, in a staggering way in Op. 101. Transcended it a few month later into a romantic piece of extraordinary intensity and progression in the Diabelli variations.
