The music of Leopold Kozeluch (1747-1818) satisfied the ever-changing musical tastes of 18th c. Vienna but he was also a skilled pedagogue, challenging the best of his aristocratic students with the blistering semiquaver climaxes and double octaves of Sonatas Nos. 17 and 18. Kozeluch foreshadows Beethoven in his Sonata No. 19, but the Sonata No. 20 represents a musical watershed, anticipating Schubert and others with its adventurous harmonic shifts and the surprising romanticism of its extended slow movement. Kemp English provides world premiere recordings of Kozeluch's Sonatas Nos. 19 & 20.
