I prefer it to the B minor one. More concise, more tense, the sonata opus 35 is a work I perform with great pleasure: I always find something new in it. Each time, I feel like rediscovering it, seeing it from another point of view. Even the slow movement, the famous funeral march, which everyone knows, I love playing it, I like to play with it, because it is particularly suited to this music.

It’s one of my favorite work. I think it also likes me: this sonata never played me tricks.

What about you? How this Chopin’s opus 35 talks to you? Does it give you this impression of permanent novelty?
