![Nauta,Folke / Van Den Oudenweijer,Lars Wouters - Left Hand Legacy Vol 2: Chamber Music Written For - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/e6ad6afb-9a35-4189-baf1-57cc3962f0a8.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The album Left Hand Legacy Vol. 2 is the latest part of the Wittgenstein Project, which aims to bring the treasures of Wittgenstein's library to the concert stage. For far too long Paul Wittgenstein's library was inaccessible to the world. Not before 2001 a pile of chamber music surfaced, specially composed for the pianist who commissioned Maurice Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand. These chamber music works have hardly ever been played since Wittgenstein premiered them in the 1920s and 30s. Album Tracks 1. Franz Schmidt Quintet in B-Flat Major - Andante Tranquillo 2. Franz Schmidt Quintet in B-Flat Major - Lento 3. Franz Schmidt Quintet in B-Flat Major - Allegro Ma Non Troppo 4. Josef Labor Trio No. 2 in G minor - Allegro Ma Non Troppo 5. Josef Labor Trio No. 2 in G minor - Quasi Allegretto E Grazioso 6. Josef Labor Trio No. 2 in G minor - Adagio Ma Non Troppo 7. Josef Labor Trio No. 2 in G minor - Allegro
