Eduard Nápravník: Waltz No.2, Op.47 Gamma1734 2022-11-18 | Eduard Nápravník (1839 – 1916) was a Czech conductor and composer. Nápravník settled in Russia and is best known for his leading role in Russian musical life as the principal conductor of the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg for many decades. In that capacity, he conducted the premieres of many operas by Russian composers, including those by Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.Nápravník was born in Býšť, Bohemia, in 1839. His studies of music were precariously uneven as a child, being the son of a poor teacher. Orphaned in 1853 at the age of 14, he first worked as a local church organist. In 1854 he entered the Prague Organ School, where he studied under Jan Bedřich Kittl and others, eventually becoming an assistant teacher as Kittl's generosity allowed him to continue his studies. In 1861, he worked in Russia for the first time as conductor of the private orchestra of Prince Yusupov in St. Petersburg.Nápravník became organist and assistant conductor at the Imperial theatres in 1863, second conductor in 1867, and chief conductor, succeeding Liadov, in 1869, holding the post until his death. He led the first performances of Boris Godunov in 1874, conducted five operas by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, including The Maid of Orleans, Mazepa and The Queen of Spades, and five by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, including May Night, The Snow Maiden and Christmas Eve. He also conducted concerts of the Russian Musical Society. In 1914, after a productive career in the service of Russian opera, he was forced to retire due to ill health.In November 1875, Nápravník conducted the first performance in Russia of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto with Gustav Kross as soloist (whose playing was described by the composer as "an atrocious cacophony"). Nápravník is also well known for leading the second — and overwhelmingly persuasive — performance of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique symphony on 6/18 November 1893, twelve days after the composer's death. The premiere, under the composer's baton, had not fared so well, partly due to the audience's and the orchestra's unfamiliarity with a work that contained so many novelties, compositionally speaking, and partly due to Tchaikovsky's conducting (although Rimsky protested after that second performance, in his autobiography Moy Muzikalny Zhizn [My Musical Life], that the first performance had also gone well under the baton of its creator). Under Nápravník's baton, however, and under the solemn influence of Tchaikovsky's sudden passing, the work was seen as a masterpiece with an overwhelming emotional message. It included some minor corrections that Tchaikovsky had made after the premiere, and was thus the first performance of the work in the exact form in which it is known today.Of Nápravník's own four operas the most successful was Dubrovsky (1894, staged 1895) written to a Russian libretto by Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky after the story by Alexander Pushkin.He died in Petrograd in 1916. In May 1917, his family went abroad and eventually settled in Belgium.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Ivan Laskovsky: Ballade Gamma1734 2022-11-15 | Although this piece is not easy to play, one could even call it virtuosic given the context of when it was written, what helped me immensely in performing it are the similarities of this to Mendelssohn's music, which I am rather familiar with. I'm thinking here of especially the f minor fantasy. In the coda in the end I really had the feeling I switched into a Mendelssohn piece suddenly. Laskovsky is a great composer, I have played many pieces by him on this channel already:Song without words, Op.10youtube.com/watch?v=z7ZnGIof1ZUBarcarolleyoutube.com/watch?v=XkipNaYCSHsOld Woman's Tale, Op.33youtube.com/watch?v=qOKJqpe9IWYMazurka, Op.50youtube.com/watch?v=nOYeVfOh01cMazurka, Op.42youtube.com/watch?v=oEudxQ8iys0Mazurka, Op.47youtube.com/watch?v=Co_K7VT2V2oPolka, Op.34youtube.com/watch?v=As-qZ-87EIcMazurka, Op.48youtube.com/watch?v=Iz_hI8eemFAFleeting thought, Op.28youtube.com/watch?v=UvFC7fKMSIkMenuet, Op.24youtube.com/watch?v=RGkhYasLfIUChildren's song, Op.13youtube.com/watch?v=iKJHqPnQ-YMHowever, I think I am willing to say that this composition is my favorite so far. We have to really not forget that the composer lived 1799-1855! I think his music was innovative back in the day. Let's hear what Balakirev said about him, in 1910."Although Glinka's piano music became famous , the first Russian piano composer should be recognized as the late Ivan F. Laskovsky ... Laskovsky's pieces provide rich material for the pianist ... We follow Laskovsky directly."Among his teachers was John Field, Inventor of the Nocturne Genre, and his friends were A. S. Pushkin , M. I. Glinka , A. S. Dargomyzhsky , M. Vielgorsky , V. F. Odoyevsky, F. Liszt , A. Vietan , A. Serva, A. Henselt , who toured in russia and played in his house. He was very popular at that time and mostly played his own compositions: Mazurkas, Ballades, Etudes, Variations. He was very fond of Beethovens music. He wrote over 70 compositions, and he developed the lyrical-romantic tendency of russian piano music. His music is near to slavic folklore, but is also influenced by KM Weber , F. Schubert , F. Chopin , R. Schumann and F. Mendelssohn. His pieces are tasteful, witty, beautiful and elegant.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Mikhail Karpov: Rêverie, Op.1/3 Gamma1734 2022-11-08 | Karpov is a composer that fell into oblivion and we don't have many informations about him. His life dates are probably 1884-1960 and this was published in 1906, so before he was 23 years old. For an op.1 work, this feels very mature and well -thought, I'm again very surprised. The musical language here goes in a Balakirev direction, relying a lot on chromatic phrases lingering everywhere. I've only played the very beautiful Prelude from this set so far:youtube.com/watch?v=FYMm1KE5HpUInterestingly, the set is dedicated to Tiniakov, of whom I have also played some pieces:youtube.com/watch?v=hC9y4l-VWrsyoutube.com/watch?v=5KJm1lMP0_A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)
Paul Juon: Nocturne, Op.1/2 Gamma1734 2022-11-06 | I didn't really plan to play another piece today but, wow. What a gorgeous composition! I can only repeat myself, it totally blows my mind that unfortunately no one has bothered with a recording of this beautiful piece of music so far. I'm thinking here of a typical romantic forest idyll, very peaceful and atmospheric. Here, again, I like the middle section a lot. This one requires a *really* delicate touch differentiating between mp, p, pp and I'm at the limit of what my 1k setup here can do for me. Would love to play this on a real grand at some point. Again, talking about Op.1 I'm just impressed at this skill of storytelling here.(1872-1940)His parents were Swiss, and he went to a German Primary school in Moscow. He entered the Moscow Conservatory in 1889, where he studied violin with Jan Hřímalý and composition with Anton Arensky and Sergei Taneyev. His works include sonatas for viola, cello, winds, and three for violin, four symphonies (including one in manuscript) and also a chamber symphony, four string quartets, several piano trios, piano quartets and piano quintets as well as one sextet for piano and strings from 1902 and a wind quintet, a number of concerted works including three violin concerti and a triple concerto with piano trio, many piano works and lieder, and a number of stage works including an opera Aleko.Also I want to say thank you to the persons who donated recently, you're really helping me out!

Mark Hambourg: Folk Song Gamma1734 2022-11-05 | I want to share with you this lovely Folk song with a beautiful arrangement. I especially love the development in the middle section. Mark Hambourg (Марк Михайлович Гамбург, 1879 – 1960) was a Russian British concert pianist.His father was principal of the Voronezh Conservatory, and later a professor at the Moscow Conservatory, so that Mark continued his studies with his father even when he attended that academy. His uncle Alexander Hambourg was also a conductor and his cousin Charles Hambourg (1895–1979) was a cellist and conductor.The family moved to London in 1889, as refugees from the Tsarist regime. There, having been heard by Paderewski, Mark made a debut at the old Princes Hall on 12 July 1890. This was a success, and there was another concert there, and a tour of the provinces. The family was too poor to turn down these opportunities, though they would gladly have protected the boy from public life. As a child he was billed as Max Hambourg. He was invited into the circle of the painter Felix Moscheles (son of the pianist Ignaz Moscheles), in London, where he often met Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, Ellen Terry and others.Sponsored largely by Paderewski, Hambourg was sent to study under Theodor Leschetitzky in Vienna for three years, arriving there in autumn 1891. There he won the Liszt Scholarship of 500 marks, and made a large number of friends among the artistic circles of Vienna. He made his first appearance as an adult pianist in early 1895, playing Chopin's Concerto No. 1 in E minor under the baton of Hans Richter, with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Then, while still a student with Leschetizky, he stood in at short notice (on his master's recommendation) to play Liszt's Hungarian Fantasia under Felix Weingartner, in place of Sophie Menter, who was indisposed. The audience, at first disappointed, was completely won over, and at the banquet which followed, Brahms himself proposed the toast to the young pianist.In 1895 Hambourg began his first world tour (aged 16), beginning in Australia, where in (Sydney) he was asked to prolong his stay by six weeks. Returning to London, he deputized for Paderewski at a Philharmonic Society concert playing Anton Rubinstein's Piano Concerto No. 4 in D minor. He first appeared in Paris in 1896, and after that in Brussels and Berlin. He went to the United States in the latter part of 1898, making his New York debut under William Gericke with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and going on to tour the US. He then returned to London, and in 1901 made his first appearances at the Queen's Hall Proms under Henry Wood. Over the next four years he made another American tour and made visits to Poland, Russia and Germany. (He had met Lenin through Felix Moscheles in London in 1900). In 1906 he made a month-long concert visit to South Africa, taking his own piano by precarious means across the Veldt to one remote location. He first toured in Canada in 1909 and later became friends with the Canadian pianist Harold Bradley.Hambourg's career survived World War I and he remained a very famous performer throughout the 1920s and 1930s. After the war, he again took up his programme of world touring, visiting France, South Africa and Canada, and making regular provincial tours in Britain, and he made a further world tour before 1924. But he lived in London for most of his adult life, mostly at 27 Cumberland Terrace, Regent's Park in a house full of antiques.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)
Leonid Gurevich: Melancholy (2 Pianos, 6 Hands) Gamma1734 2022-11-05 | Leonid Gurevich (born 1936) graduated from the Azerbaijan Conservatorywhere he was a student of Gara Garayev who had a great influence on theprofessional development of the composer. He began to form as an artist in the 1960s and, like other composers of the time, the young man actively studied new Western techniques, and his works of those years contained elements of dodecaphony.However, Gurevich’s music even then showed a bright melodic gift, classical clarity of forms, a filigree sense of taste and measure in everything, and a surprisingly harmonious outlook. The main area of the composer’s work is symphonic and chamber instrumental music, as well as scores for theatre productions, chamber vocal and choral pieces, and songs. His works are characterized by original dramatic and timbre solutions, while the composer assigns special importance to direct emotional impact. For more than half a century, Leonid Gurevich taught at the Ural Conservatory, educating composers in the best traditions of classical and modern music. His poem In Memory of the Great Composer dedicated to Dmitri Shostakovich and the capriccio Joy Over a Found Penny dedicated to Sergei Prokofiev are parts of the concerto diptych “Coryphaeus” for violin and grand symphony orchestra created in 2003. The dedicatees are not accidental – the legacy of the Soviet classics was the soil on which the composer’s style was growing. The pieces are remakes of the second and third movements of his early sonata for violin and piano written when he was a conservatory student. Almost all the musical material of the lyrical and deeply personal poem grows out of the initial violin motif of fifths and fourths that undergoes a figurative transformation and reaches a dramatic climax. The optimistic capriccio with its clear rhythm, fast pace, and clear harmony is at the opposite emotional pole, and if the first theme is close to the image of Mercutio, the second clearly resembles one of the themes of Prokofiev’s Juliet. “As for the subtitles containing allusions with the well-known classical examples (Tchaikovsky’s trio in the first case and Beethoven’s rondo in the other), they obviously contain an additional intrigue”, the composer says, inviting a thoughtful listener to unravel it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Ralph Rainger: Tick Tack Toe (Novelty Piano Solo) Gamma1734 2022-10-31 | Ralph Rainger (né Reichenthal; October 7, 1901 – October 23, 1942) was an American composer of popular music principally for films.Born Ralph Reichenthal in New York City, United States, Rainger initially embarked on a legal career, having obtained his law degree at Brown University in 1926. He had, however, studied piano from a young age and attended the Institute of Musical Art in New York. Public performances include radio broadcasts from New York and WOR (New Jersey) as early as 1922. These were as soloist, accompanist to singers, and as duo-pianist with Adam Carroll or "Edgar Fairchild" (the name Milton Suskind used for commercial work).He also prepared piano rolls between 1922 and 1928 for Ampico, Standard, and DeLuxe. Some of these used the "Reichenthal" surname, others the "Rainger" name he was gradually adopting commercially.With the advent of motion picture sound and the film musical, Rainger and other songwriters found work in Hollywood. He teamed up with lyricist Leo Robin to produce a string of successful film songs, including "I'll Take An Option On You", from the Broadway hit show Tattle Tales (1933).In the years that followed, Rainger wrote or collaborated on such hit songs as "I Wished on the Moon", "Love in Bloom" (comedian Jack Benny's theme song), "Faithful Forever", "Easy Living", "June in January", "Blue Hawaii", and with Leo Robin on the 1938 Oscar-winning song "Thanks for the Memory", sung by Bob Hope in the film The Big Broadcast of 1938.Rainger died in a plane crash near Palm Springs, California, in 1942. He was a passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 28, a DC-3 airliner that was involved in a mid-air collision with a U.S. Army Air Corps bomber. Rainger, then age 41, was survived by his wife, Elizabeth ("Betty"), an eight-year-old son, and two daughters, aged five and one. In the initial 1942 press coverage of the crash, the collision was not acknowledged; Betty Rainger later sued American Airlines and won a substantial judgement late in 1943.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)
Ruggero Leoncavallo: Serenade Gamma1734 2022-10-30 | Leoncavallo (23 April 1857 – 9 August 1919) was an Italian opera composer and librettist. Although he produced numerous operas and other songs throughout his career it is his opera Pagliacci (1892) that remained his lasting contribution, despite attempts to escape the shadow of his greatest success.Today he remains largely known for Pagliacci, one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the opera repertory. His other compositions include the song "Mattinata", popularized by Enrico Caruso, and the symphonic poem La Nuit de mai. This Serenade is from this opera. In 1890 he saw the enormous success of Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana and wasted no time in producing his own verismo work, Pagliacci. (According to Leoncavallo, the plot of this work had a real-life origin: he claimed it derived from a murder trial in Montalto Uffugo, over which his father had presided.)Pagliacci was performed in Milan in 1892 with immediate success; today it is the only work by Leoncavallo in the standard operatic repertory. Its most famous aria, "Vesti la giubba" ("Put on the costume" or, in the better-known older translation, "On with the motley"), was recorded by Enrico Caruso and laid claim to being the world's first record to sell a million copies (although this is probably a total of Caruso's various versions of it, made in 1902, 1904 and 1907).--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)
Julius Lenzberg: Rag-A-Minor Gamma1734 2022-10-30 | Julius Lenzberg (January 3, 1878 to April 24, 1956) was a German-American composer of ragtime and jazz. He recorded a substantial number of jazz pieces with orchestra between 1919 and 1922, in addition to ragtime music such as his popular Hungarian Rag of 1913.In 1903, Jules married German-born Ella Lenzberg, and they moved permanently to New York City so he could pursue his music career.By 1910 the Lenzbergs had moved to Queens, New York where they remained for the rest of their lives, and the move to Queens marked the beginning of his greatest period of productivity as a composer. The Hungarian Rag was his only huge seller, but his other compositions, though not as successful, still made him a comfortable income. Meanwhile, he continued to be a successful leader of his orchestra at the Colonial Theatre.He often adapted familiar classical tunes to ragtime, as he did with his Hungarian Rag and Operatic Rag, inspiring others to "rag" famous tunes, though not always as successfully as Lenzberg. His Hungarian Rag was based upon the Hungarian Rhapsodies by Liszt. Lenzberg's Haunting Rag may be his most original work. Among Lenzberg's collaborators was the singer and songwriter Ernest Ball.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Salomon Mazurette: Nocturne, Op.24 Gamma1734 2022-10-19 | Today I have an easy romantic piece which seems to me to be suitable also for didactic purposes because of its effective writing. The composer is actually not that unknown and was a famous concert pianist:Salomon (or Solomon) Mazurette. Pianist, composer, organist, teacher, baritone, b Montreal 26 Jun 1847, d Detroit 19 Sep 1910. He took piano lessons for eight years with Paul Letondal, studied 1865-6 at Ottawa College (University of Ottawa), and then went to Paris to work with the virtuoso pianist Jacques Herz and the organist Édouard Batiste. In Paris Mazurette apparently gave successful concerts with the Greek violinist Joseph Dawsrahk. After returning to Montreal in 1870 he set out on an extended concert tour which took him through New England, Michigan, and Illinois. Back in Montreal, in November 1873, he gave two recitals at Queen's Hall; an anonymous critic wrote in L'Opinion publique: 'M. Mazurette is already a master. He has more than just talent, he has the inspiration of genius. Like Liszt, his illustrious rival, our Canadian artist makes the piano speak and sing.'Mazurette moved to Detroit in 1873, returning only on rare occasions to give concerts in Canada. In May 1890 he took part in two concerts in Montreal at the Victoria rink with Emma Albani. 'Leading critics admit that he has no superior on the American continent,' wrote La Minerve on this occasion, adding that 'the sounds he draws from the piano one would believe possible only in flights of ecstatic imagination.' In Detroit he was for many years the organist at St Anne's Church, and in neighbouring Windsor, Ont, he was music director of St Mary's Academy for at least the 1875-6 school year. He was awarded a gold medal in 1876 for his performance at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.Dubbed the 'King of Canadian pianists,' Mazurette belongs to that generation of 19th-century pianist-composers whose considerable success with the public was due to their spectacular performance style and to compositions in which bravura passages and facile sentimental melodies abound. He was an unusually prolific composer, and his works were much in demand among publishers. The best-known was Home, Sweet Home, Opus 17 (CMH, vol 1), 'a brilliant Romance with variations imitating waves during a storm,' which he composed in August 1870 aboard ship on his return journey from France. Numerous editions were produced by Ditson, Schott, Ashdown, and Sheard. Old Folks at Home, 'a grand concert paraphrase' published by Gordon, bears the opus number 275, an indication of the abundance of his output. On l Jul 1876, a list containing 52 of his works then published and sold at Boucher's, appeared in Le Canada Musical. Mazurette wrote mainly for piano and voice, but he also composed a Mass in D Minor, sung in 1875 in Trinity Church, Detroit. He dedicated some sentimental ballads to famous singers such as Emma Albani ('O! Give me back my native hills'), Annie Louise Cary, Clara Louise Kellogg, and Marie Roze.Despite the active life he appears to have led in Detroit as organist, teacher, and composer, he died destitute and was buried in a pauper's grave.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Arno Babadjanian: Melody Gamma1734 2022-10-05 | Arno Babajanian (1921 –1983) was an Armenian composer and pianist during the Soviet era.Babajanian was born in Yerevan, Armenia. By age 5, his musical talent was apparent, and the composer Aram Khachaturian suggested that the boy be given proper music training. Two years later, in 1928 at the age of 7, Babajanian entered the Yerevan State Musical Conservatory. In 1938, he continued his studies in Moscow with Vissarion Shebalin.He later returned to Yerevan, where from 1950–1956 he taught at the conservatory. It was during this period (1952) that he wrote the Piano Trio in f# sharp minor. It received immediate acclaim and was regarded as a masterpiece from the time of its premiere. Subsequently, he undertook concert tours throughout the Soviet Union and Europe. In 1971, he was named a People's Artist of the Soviet Union.As a composer, Babajanian was active in most genres and even wrote many popular songs in collaboration with the leading poets such as Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Robert Rozhdestvensky among others. Much of Babajanian's music is rooted in Armenian folk music and folklore. But generally, the way in which he uses Armenian folk music is in the virtuosic style of Rachmaninov and Khachaturian. His later works were influenced by Prokofiev and Bartók. Praised by Dmitri Shostakovich as a "brilliant piano teacher", Babajanian was also a noted pianist and often performed his own works in concerts.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)

Ole Olsen: Valse-Caprice Gamma1734 2022-10-03 | Ole Olsen (4 July 1850 – 4 November 1927) was a Norwegian organist, composer, conductor and military musician.Olsen was born in Hammerfest, in the county of Finnmark. His mother died when he was young. His father was Iver Olsen, a craftsman and an amateur musician who played the organ at the local church. From a young age Olsen learnt to play the piano and the violin. At the age of five he composed his first small piece, and by the age of seven he sometimes stood in for his father playing the church pipe organ.In 1865 Olsen went to Trondheim as apprentice to a craftsman. He also studied composition and the organ from Fredrick and Just Lindeman, and sometimes substituted for Just as the organist in the Trondheim cathedral. In 1870, having given up his apprenticeship, he moved to Leipzig where he studied under Oscar Paul at the music conservatory until 1874. There he wrote his Symphony in G major, and began his opera Stig Hvide.In 1874 he became a teacher in Christiania (now Oslo), where he spent most of the rest of his life. He conducted the Christiania Artisans' Choral Society from 1876–1880, the Music Society orchestra from 1877–1880, and the freemason's orchestra from 1894–1908. From 1884 he was the music director of the Akershus 2nd Brigade. From 1899–1920 he was a music inspector.Olsen's operas were influenced by Richard Wagner. Another strong influence was the traditional Joik form of song, as he was involved in collecting folk tunes while in the military. These influenced the large number of military marches he composed, and the nationalist tradition was also represented in his stage works.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores: youtu.be/xg74ZGNTv0c- My donation link to keep the channel growing: paypal.com/paypalme/gamma1734Thanks for listening :-)
