Wolf Sonata for piano

In his Sonata, Péter Wolf puts his style well-known from the characterpieces of his previous piano series (Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, Jazz preludes)in the service of a demanding form. We can recognize the style that can betraced back to jazz and Bartók, the characters that tap like a toccata orswirl like perpetual motion, the singing lyrical melodies or even such playfulturns as the baroque musette-like episode of the slow movement. Like Wolf'sprevious piano works, this multi-faceted composition, which sets highstandards in terms of instrumental technique, was inspired by the outstandingpianist József Balog and gives the impression of his individuality as aperformer.
