Samuil Feinberg was a Russian pianist and composer. He had a fine career as a pianist inside the USSR, but he was almost never allowed to leave the country... so Feinberg's work isn't as well known to the rest of the world. Pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin would like to change that. On Tuesday's Performance Today, tune in to hear Hamelin play Samuil Feinberg's Piano Sonata No. 1, from the Aspen Music Festival.
