Alban Berg - Piano Sonata, Op. 1 | Emanuele Salvatore, piano (Rolling score)

Composed at the end of Berg’s studies with Arnold Schönberg, the Piano Sonata Op. 1 stands at the threshold between late Romanticism and the emerging musical language of the Second Viennese School. Cast in a single, highly concentrated movement, its dense chromatic harmony, tightly integrated motivic writing and continuous process of development anticipate central features of Berg’s mature style.
