op. 2 Klavierstücke mit Überschriften nach Worten von Nicolaus Lenau (ps600***)
Austrian composer, pupil of Hauer, whom he is trying to imitate here.
Born in 1903, lost without trace in 1945.
Somewhat naive archaic style, but nevertheless with expressive qualities.

Impossible is settled immediately - only miracles last somewhat longer!

We have, in English, the equivalent: "The Impossible we do at once. Miracles take a little longer."

See rob's posting which overlapped/coincided/clashed with mine.

P.S. Nikolaus (sic! the "k" is correct!) Lenau should be available in a decent english translation!(?)

Emil (Ritter von) SAUER
2ieme Sonate (mi bemol majeur) pour piano
Sauer Sonate #2.pdf
More or less a twin of the first sonata (which I prefer by a small margin).
Richard Strauss (beginning!), Schumann influenced with a trace of Chopin.
Preference for full, rich (late)-romantic harmonic progressions and crisp staccato triplets.
Worth an occasional hearing and a ps600 scan.
It is the contents and not the compositorial skill that prevents this piece from being a definitive masterwork.

Young Elly Ney studied this sonata (which she considered his best work) with Sauer and played it in a students concert, being utterly disappointed that her master did not comment her (successful) performance with a single word. She was only reconciled when Sauer somewhat later gave her a leather-bound
complete edition of his pianoworks as a present.

Thank you for the Sauer 2nd Sonata, Alfor. Quite a lot going on in this piece, but the final Rondo is somewhat weak compared to the rest of the sonata, but a well-wrought piece. Seems he did learn quite a lot from Liszt.
