question: The first recording of Piano Sonata in B minor was made by a pianist who passed away in which year ?
answer: 1982
context: Title: Piano Sonata No. 1 (Mozart)
  Passage: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 1 in C major, K.  279 / 189d (1774), is a piano sonata in three movements.  It was composed when Mozart was only 18 years old and is the first of a set of his 18 piano sonata.  All but 2 of the sonatas, No. 8 in A minor and No. 14 in C minor are in a major key.  Also, the first several sonatas seem to follow the cycle of fifths, to the flat side first (No. 1 in C major, No. 2 in F major, No. 3 in B-flat major, No. 4 in E-flat major) and then to the sharp side (No. 5 in G major, No. 6 in D major).
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 2 (Brahms)
  Passage: The Piano Sonata No. 2 in F♯ minor, Op. 2 of Johannes Brahms was written in Hamburg, Germany in 1852, and published the year after.  Despite being his second published work, it was actually composed before his Piano Sonata No. 1, but was published later because Brahms recognized the importance of an inaugural publication and felt that the C major sonata was of higher quality.  It was sent along with his first sonata to Breitkopf und Härtel with a letter of recommendation from Robert Schumann.  Schumann had already praised Brahms enthusiastically, and the sonata shows signs of an effort to impress, with its technical demands and highly dramatic nature.  It was dedicated to Clara Schumann.
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 15 (Beethoven)
  Passage: Piano Sonata No. 15 in D major, Op. 28, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.  The name Pastoral or Pastorale became known through A. Cranz publishing of Beethoven's work, but was first coined by a London publisher, Broderip & Wilkinson.  While not as famous as its immediate predecessor, Piano Sonata No. 14, it is generally admired for its intricate technicality as well as for its beauty.  The sonata takes roughly twenty-five minutes to play with its intended repeats.
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 3 (Beethoven)
  Passage: Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 3 in C major, Op. 2, No. 3, is a sonata written for solo piano, composed in 1795.  It is dedicated to Joseph Haydn and is often referred to as Beethoven's first virtuosic piano sonata.  The three Opus 2 sonatas all contain four movements each, an unusual length which seems to show that Beethoven was aspiring towards composing a symphony.  It is both the weightiest and longest of the three Opus 2 sonatas, lasting over 25 minutes, presenting many difficulties, including difficult trills, awkward hand movements, and forearm rotation.  It is Beethoven's second longest piano sonata in his early period, only to Beethoven's Grand Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 7, published a year later.
  Title: Double-Function Form
  Passage: Double-function form is a musical construction that allows for a collection of movements to be viewed as elements of a single larger musical form.  The most famous example of this is Franz Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B minor (1853).  The sonata is composed as a single movement with about a half an hour’s duration.  The piece introduces some themes at the very outset of the piece which are manipulated and recapitulated over twenty minutes later.  Charles Rosen believes that the work as whole fulfils his criterion for a sonata form.  Moreover, within the one long sonata form, there exists a short sonata form, followed by a slow ternary, followed by a scherzo and fugue, followed by a finale.  Thus, the single movement fulfills the standard of both a classical sonata form and a classical four movement piano sonata.
  Title: Piano Sonata in B minor (Strauss)
  Passage: The Piano Sonata in B minor, Op.5, was written by Richard Strauss in 1881–82 when he was 17 years old.  The Sonata is in the Romantic style of his teenage years.  The first recording of the piece was the last recording made by the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould.
  Title: Glenn Gould
  Passage: Glenn Herbert Gould ( ; 25 September 19324 October 1982) was a Canadian pianist who became one of the best-known and most celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century.  He was particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach.  His playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and capacity to articulate the polyphonic texture of Bach's music.  He is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 3 (Chopin)
  Passage: Frédéric Chopin composed his Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op.  58, in 1844 and dedicated it to Countess Emilie de Perthuis.  It has been suggested that this was his attempt to address the criticisms of his earlier Sonata No. 2, Op. 35.  Along with the previous sonata, this is considered to be one of Chopin's most difficult compositions, both technically and musically.
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 1 (Vine)
  Passage: The Piano Sonata No. 1 of Carl Vine was composed in 1990 and dedicated to Australian pianist Michael Kieran Harvey, who made the debut recording of the sonata under the Tall Poppies label in 1991.  The first printed edition, under the label Chester Music, bears the following description: "A complex and challenging piano sonata composed by Carl Vine for the Sydney Dance Company in 1991.  The piece was first performed by Michael Harvey in North Melbourne in June 1991.  The music is full of rich chordal movements, unusual flowing harmonies and tonalities, with great extremes of dynamic and energy.  Reflecting the physical origins of the piece as a dance, the music is dotted with very strict changes of tempo which require exact adherence, rather than the Rubato approach that typifies many piano interpretations."  The work is in two movements, the second of which bears the marking "Leggiero e legato".
  Title: Piano Sonata No. 3 (Brahms)
  Passage: The Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853 and published the following year.  The sonata is unusually large, consisting of five movements, as opposed to the traditional three or four.  When he wrote this piano sonata, the genre was seen by many to be past its heyday.  Brahms, enamored of Beethoven and the classical style, composed Piano Sonata No. 3 with a masterful combination of free Romantic spirit and strict classical architecture.  As a further testament to Brahms' affinity for Beethoven, the Piano Sonata is infused with the instantly recognizable motive from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 during the first, third, and fourth movements.  Composed in Düsseldorf, it marks the end of his cycle of three sonatas, and was presented to Robert Schumann in November of that year; it was the last work that Brahms submitted to Schumann for commentary.  Brahms was barely 20 years old at its composition.  The piece is dedicated to Countess Ida von Hohenthal of Leipzig.
