Ivory ticklers in this group may be interested in the score of William Bendix's piano sonata, recently uploaded to IMSLP. A recording by Peter Seivewright on Rondo Grammofon has been available for some time.
Facilities for scanning were primitive, and the scan quality is mediocre. Still, the notes are all there. The specimen scanned previously belonged to the musicologist William Newman, whose three volumes on the sonata principle from the 1970s make good reading today.
Written around 1896, Bendix's sonata stands up handsomely, I think, when compared to fellow Dane Carl Nielsen's piano works of the same period. I encourage pianists to have a go at this splendid sonata.
Thanks. I'll investigate. Bendix's Piano Concerto, though hardly known, is a fabulous piece...in fact, I would say, one of the greatest piano concertos of the 19th century. I'll have a look at the sonata.
By the way, don't get Victor Bendix confused with film star William Bendix!
