Ginastera

Sonata No. 3

Taught by renowned instructor

Barbara Nissman

A pulsating, neo-Scarlattian mini-sonata with a Lisztian cadenza and characteristic Argentinian twang and flair, Alberto Ginastera's Sonata No. 3 is an unknown masterpiece of the 20th-century piano repertoire. Ginastera composed the work on his deathbed for Barbara Nissman, who takes you on a tour of the work's motives, interjections, and magical departures, while deconstructing its patent virtuosity to make it playable in your hands.
