Hello, HPowders,
I tried to message you, and recalled that you had refused private messages. I wonder if replying to this very old message will get through.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your mention of Persichetti's piano sonatas quite a long time ago. I've been listening to these sonatas on a set recorded by Geoffrey Burleson, and have been enjoying them a lot. I find Persichetti's piano works to be rather contrapuntal in nature, and I wondered if this was one of the things that attracted you to them--given your enjoyment of Bach's keyboard works? At any rate, I find the recommendations from the many contributors to Talk Classical to be a great source of learning about new music.
