His Concerto No 4 in F minor, written in 1908, was greeted at its premiere with astonishing enthusiasm from an audience \\u2018which may, without exaggeration, be said to have included almost every pianist \\u2013 virtuoso, teacher and student \\u2013 in Berlin\\u2019. Two years later Scharwenka was to give his first performance of the work at a concert in New York. The conductor was Gustav Mahler. Emil Von Sauer\\u2019s compositions have suffered from an even greater neglect, wholly unjustifiable, than Scharwenka\\u2019s. The E minor Concerto had already gone through eight printings by 1908 when he performed it in Chicago: \\u201cIt was no matter for astonishment that when the pianist-composer had brought the work to its conclusion a storm of genuine enthusiasm should seep the house from gallery to floor \\u2026 Mr Sauer represents a school of piano-playing that has all but vanished. The pianists who are now moulding the taste of the public are, one and all, engaged in the questionable task of reproducing with their instruments effects that are orchestral \\u2026 but in the meantime we are in danger of forgetting the joys of pure pianism. To such joys Mr Sauer has awakened us.\\u201d Two first recordings, played by one of the greatest virtuoso pianists today.\u003cp\u003ePiano Concerto No.4 In F Minor, Op.82: Allegro Patetico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Concerto No.4 In F Minor, Op.82: Intermezzo.
