I think that Steven and I disagree about this sonata which has some of the silliest developmental passages in all of classical music

Connie Shih and I are playing the Grieg cello sonata on our current US tour. It's so wonderfully loveable - and yet so often dismissed. Why? It is warm-hearted, sincere, lyrical, and touchingly beautiful. Those who turn their noses up at such music rob themselves of much joy...

@LouisMander It would be fun to have a Mozart vs Grieg development section smack down

@StevenIsserlis Grieg’s sonata form works are often his most successful; often eclipsed by the fluffy favourites. Except the piano concerto which is the exception. Wow. String quartet in G minor and the 3rd violin sonata as well as the loving cello sonata he composed for his brother x

I was excited to be mobbed by a group of school kids in Catford just now - until I discovered they thought I was David Attenborough.
