Description
Liszt's Piano Sonata in B Minor , first drafted in 1849, is one of his most innovative piano works. The handwritten, final version was completed on 2 February 1853, and was first published in April 1854. Liszt dedicated the work to Robert Schumann as a response to Schumann previously dedicating his C Major Fantasy to Liszt. The Sonata in B Minor was premiered on January 22 1857, by the Liszt's youngest daughter's husband, Hans von Bülow, who was a renowned pianist and conductor.
