I was meaning only in popularity -- there is no denying that. Whether the popularity discrepancy is justified or not is an entirely different kettle of fish and something music lovers of all stripes love to debate when it comes to their favourites. In this instance I have no opinion either way but when it comes to Biber's Mystery Sonatas I'm as an enthusiastic an evangelist as anyone. Apologies for waiting so long to reply to your comment.

To me it is one of the greatest pieces in the entire piano repertoire. In what way is op. 27 no. 1 overshadowed by no. 2 aside from popularity?

Thanks for your kind words. I didn't have a score available when I was writing up these notes, so I had to guess on the hands. Now that the <a href="http://www.imslp.com" rel="nofollow">IMSLP</a> is up and running again, I'll pop over and have a look. No book plans are in the works, as I am certain there are other people who have devoted a lifetime to studying these works that have a lot more interesting things to say on the matter.
