About the course
Liszt Sonata in B minor – Complete Online Masterclass
Duration: 1h 20min
This in-depth masterclass dives straight into the heart of Franz Liszt’s monumental Sonata in B minor — one of the most demanding and profound works in the piano repertoire.
Over the course of 1 hour and 20 minutes, I guide you through the most important technical challenges and interpretative decisions of the piece. We break down tricky passages, explore fingering strategies, sound production, voicing, pedal techniques, and tempo control. Just as importantly, we look at how to shape the massive structure of the sonata into a compelling musical narrative — from the first ominous motif to the final, fading echoes.
This video is for advanced pianists who are either working on the Sonata or preparing to perform it. I focus on practical solutions, no fluff — just real, applicable insights from someone who has lived with this piece for years.
