One thought on “Works for piano

  1. I am thrilled to be enjoying learning to play Bortkiewicz’s second piano Sonata Op. 60. However, it’s come to my attention there are two manuscripts of this work–one on which Bhagwan Thadani’s 1996 edition was based (the van Dalen copy) and a second one on which the Simrock printer’s proof was based. Do you know whether anyone has attempted to trace the relationship between these two versions? They diverge in numerous places, especially in the first movement. Has anyone tried to develop a critical edition using both?
