Sonata No.6 by Zinck

Hardenack Otto Conrad Zinck was a German-Danish composer who had probably passed all requirements to be called a child prodigy when he was five – while his peers barely knew a difference between harp and lute, he already performed for the head of Danish state and concurrently alcoholic Frederick V. Zinck’s teacher was Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach who gave him singing lessons. Between this and then he was playing piano, flute, and violin. And when Zinck instructed the choir members, people gathered nearby to listen – what is it if not intravital recognition? Being not very well-known today, he deserves postmortem fame as well, and I suggest downloading one of his piano sonatas. Sheet music of the sixth can be found here: Sonata No.6 for Piano in D minor. Enjoy!
