Nikolai Myaskovsky Piano Sonata No.6 Op.64

Endre Hegedus - Piano (Op.64 No.2) 00:00 - Allegro ma non troppo 07:08 - Andante con sentimento 13:39 - Molto vivo Stung by the many accusations in the Soviet press of "individualism, decadence, pessimism, formalism and complexity", Myaskovsky wrote to Asafiev in 1940, "Can it be that the psychological world is so foreign to these people?". When somebody described Zhdanov's decree against "formalism" to him as "historic", he is reported to have retorted "Not historic – hysterical". Shostakovich, who visited Myaskovsky on his deathbed, described him afterwards to the musicologist Marina Sabinina as "the most noble, the most modest of men".
