>1. What's your opinion of the piano music compared to Kuhlau's other works?
I would say Kuhlau is, as some other Danes too, a good orchestrator,
and some of the orchestral bonus you will miss when you take up his
pianoworks. If you have not heard it yet, I would recommend to you his
ballet "Elverhoej". (As much as I know of Danish it means "Elf Kings
Daughter"). I think it is in works of this type Kuhlau succdeds best.
Also look for the flute sonatas.
