I'm groggy enough to do so...
It seemed that having started the 'musicstuffs' blog around last October , watching it reach 46 posts (not that many, but enough), it was time to start afresh for searching purposes: hence Musicstuff v. 2.0.
Just briefly noting of the piece I was just listening to, the piano sonata in C♯ minor/E major by
Felix Draeseke, that it begins with an indecisive motto them--
E♯ - F♯ - A -- G♯ - F♯ ... (cadenza somewhat in f♯ minor, somewhat in c♯. This is not quite in the main key of the main key of the movement c♯.
The finale makes numerous references to the motto theme also, but treats it often as a slightly off introduction in
E major- and except for the first note, it does work out. The first note even works, but very differently.
