After having presented a paper with the catchy title The Eastern Sonata at conferences in Detmold, Bonn, and Moscow, I have now finally completed the written version (in German language) which includes further examples and references to secondary literature. For everybody interested in my discussion of Beethoven’s legacy and reception in Russia, Sergei Taneyev‘s theory of sonata form, and Nikolai Medtner‘s early piano sonatas, please refer to this source. As always, feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.
