Composed by Brian Balmages‚ ‘Moscow 1941’ is meant to describe the battle between the Russians and the Germans during World War II in Moscow. This piece contains a double duple meter pattern for the rhythm and some slight downbeats. The piece starts off with a grave tempo to represent the a gradual march that catches the audience in a trance of sorts.

Major work of the composer’s early style. It is also a landmark piece of XX.th century piano music. Premiered in 1950 by Yvette Grimaux this Sonata is stupefying by the accomplishment of a young composer aged 23.
