I am doing some preliminary research in preparation for a recital next year, and am interested in pointers towards recordings of or writings about his piano works. Judging from Schwann, there seem to be few of them on disc. I am currently leaning towards the following: Three Preludes and Fugues, Op. 10; Sonata, Op. 145; Poseidon Sonata, Op. 191. I have not, however, heard any of these except from my own sight reading, and I am relying on the only overview I've found, the Hinson article in the January, 1967, American Music Teacher. Anybody know of any information I haven't stumbled upon -- or have any favorite Hovhaness peice(s) that I may have overlooked?
