The Piano Sonata in B minor (German: Klaviersonate h-moll), S.178, is a piano sonata by Franz Liszt. It was completed in 1853 and published in 1854 with a dedication to Robert Schumann. No other work of Liszt's has attracted anywhere near the amount of scholarly attention paid to the Sonata in B minor. It has provoked a wide range of divergent theories from those of its admirers who feel compelled to search for hidden meanings. Possibilities include: The Sonata is a musical portrait of the Faust legend, with "Faust," "Gretchen," and "Mephistopheles" themes symbolizing the main characters. The Sonata is autobiographical; its musical contrasts spring from the conflicts within Liszt's own personality. The Sonata is about the divine and the diabolical; it is based on the Bible and on John Milton's Paradise Lost. The Sonata is an allegory set in the Garden of Eden; it deals with the Fall of Man and contains "God," "Lucifer," "Serpent," "Adam," and "Eve" themes. The Sonata has no programmatic allusions; it is a piece of "expressive form" with no meaning beyond itself. Our copy is Schirmer's Library Of Musical Classics Vol. 861, edited and fingured by Rafael Joseffy. Excellent pages, some edge and cover wear.
