Dussek: Selected Piano Works, Part 1

Highly acclaimed as one of the early concert pianists, Dussek's brilliant piano music has been unjustifiably neglected for many years--an oversight corrected in part with this publication. The first volume in this set presents two large sonatas for four-hand piano in C major (op. 32) and F major (op. 73). The C major sonata, in particular, displays masterful handling of musical materials, ranges widely harmonically, and makes effective use of piano sonorities.
