Richard
Wagner (1813-1883) is
rightly considered as the
19th-century music
dramatist whose formal
and harmonic originality,
for example in Tristan
and Isolde, provided a
significant impetus to
the development of
20th-century music.
Despite Wagner's fame,
his reuvre for piano
remains practically
unknown. Tobe sure, these
primarily early works and
occasional compositions
hardly even hint at the
outstanding
characteristics of the
later works such as
leit-motifs, flowing
transitions or original
forms. Nonetheless,
whoever is acquainted
with Wagner's later music
dramas will undoubtedly
not fail to be impressed
by the individual melodic
and harmonic traits of
his piano works. The
Sonata in B-flat Major
Op. 1 is of special
interest to us today
since it is Wagner's
first published work,
composed in 1831 and
printed in 1832 by
Breitkopf & Hartel. At
that time, Wagner was
studying counterpoint
with Theodor Weinlig, the
choral master and music
director of the
Thomasschule in Leipzig.
Weinlig, however, only
agreed to give Wagner
lessons if he promised to
refrain from composing
for half a year. In the
course of his studies,
Wagner was allowed to
compose the piano sonata
in B-flat Major as a kind
of journeyman-work. His
teacher Weinlig succeeded
in having the work
published by Breitkopf &
Hartel. Hence the
dedication of this piece
to Weinlig is not
surprising, since the
18-year-old Wagner would
otherwise have had great
difficulty finding a
publisher. This Sonata in
B-flat Major, which has
long been out of print,
is a reproduction of the
first edition by
Breitkopf & Hartel (plate
number 10433). For this
reprint, obvious
typographical errors have
been corrected (missing
or wrong accidentals and
dynamic indications). The
work presents a
four-movement classical
sonata form and is
stylistically reminiscent
of Mozart and Beethoven.
Shortly before composing
this sonata, Wagner wrote
a piano reduction of
Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony, which was
easily playable and yet
gratifying to hear. This
helps explain the
octave-doublings typical
of piano reductions.
Wiesbaden, Fall
1980
Respectfully
dedicated to Theodor
Weinlig, the choral
master and music director
of the Thomasschule in
Leipzig.

Sona
ta No. 6 Kharkiv for
guitar solo was composed
in 2021, in the end of
the COVID-19 lockdown. At
that time my family and I
were staying in our home
city of Kharkiv (also
known as Kharkov),
Ukraine for almost two
years. We considered that
pandemic period as a
disaster, but later have
realized that it actually
was a rather happy time,
because a war came to our
homeland just a few
months later. Since 2022
a considerable fraction
of the 1.5 millions of
Kharkiv citizens have
left their homes, those
who stayed have been
living under ceaseless
missile attacks, and many
have been killed. I would
like to dedicate this
Sonata to the frontier
city of Kharkiv and, most
of all, to its citizens
suffering from the
war. Yet, the music of
the Sonata does not have
any specific program.
Here I will give a brief
overview of its main
composition elements to
facilitate future
interpretations. The
first and fourth
movements of this Sonata
are based on the
interplay between the
twelve-tone principle and
the G-major tonal center,
natural for the guitar.
Namely, the first
movement is based on the
interaction of the
G-major triad Gâ??Bâ??D
of the open guitar
strings 2â??3â??4,
ascending motif 1
involving the notes
Eâ??F#â??Aâ??C#
(originally on the first
string), and descending
motif 2 using the notes
E-â??Câ??Bbâ??A-
(originally, on the bass
string 6). These elements
supplement each other to
almost make up twelve
tones (apart from the
missing F), and the
motifs alternate with
ostinato fragments where
each note in the G major
triad is step-by-step
moved by a semitone up or
down. The second
movement is a Scherzo
involving numerous
semitones in accented
chords and fast passages,
as well as chromatic
melodic motion in the
bass voice. It is almost
atonal in some fragments,
but has an overall tonal
center of A-minor. The
third movement is a
meditative Adagio based
on a theme composed
within hexatonic scale
Dâ??Eâ??Fâ??G#â??Aâ?
?B and ostinato chords
involving open bass
strings Eâ??Aâ??D and
semitone
Bâ??C. Finally, the
fourth movement is based
on the complete
twelve-tone theme
consisting of two phrases
including motifs 1 and 2
from the first movement:
Gâ??Fâ??Bbâ??Abâ??Câ
??Ebâ??D and
Eâ??Bâ??C#â??Aâ??F#.
This theme is presented
in its prime and
retrograde forms. There
are dialogues between the
first string, basses and
open middle strings,
similar to the first
movement. In the
culmination, the
twelve-tone theme is
performed using the
parallel motion of the
standard guitar G-major
chord with open middle
strings across twelve
positions. The Sonata
was premiered and
recorded (CD Naxos No.
8.574630) by the
prominent Ukrainian
guitarist Marko Topchii
who has also lived and
studied in Kharkiv. I am
extremely grateful to him
for the brilliant
performance of this
piece. I am greatly
indebted to Productions
dâ??Oz for keeping my
original notations in
places where these do not
conform to the
publisherâ??s style.
