I still have my copy of Buck's CD safely in my collection. I greatly appreciate and enjoy his recording of Op. 13 and wish more pianists would also record it, especially No. 2.

Paintings & Illustrations, i used each piece is: Op 8 no 1, Illustration from "Kotofey Ivanovich" by Yevgeny Rachyov « Here op 8 no 1, It resembles an ironic air of "minuet", decorated with acciaccaturas ornaments. I choose this to be the most appropriate fairytale illustration that fits this description best. » ___________________§_______________ Op 9 no 1, The Painting "Ivan Tsarevitsch rides gray wolf" by Viktor Vasnetsov « After the dramatic beginning in F minor 9:51 There is a walking rhythm, It looks like an escape (at least I imagined this) Right after 10:32 It becomes capricious and the run accelerates. As this drama-like tale I chose the famous tale of Ivan when he kidnaps his daughter from the Magician » _________________§______________ Op 9 no 2, Illustration from Michael and the Princess scene, "Twelce Dancing Princesses" by Kay Nielsen « I choose this image for the piece's air of "serenade". A boy who tries to attract or seduce a beautiful princess." ________________§________________ Op 9 no 3, Illustration "Fairy Islands" by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite from book 'Elves and Fairies' « Image selected after researching the piece, this pastoral piece inspired from that poem from Goethe: A little bud with a lovely blossom sprang early from the ground along came a little bee and sipped delicately:- they must have been made for each other Source: hyperion-records.co.uk The piece accordingly appears to mimic the flightiness of a bee's wings. In short, I chose fairies perched on flowers to suit this poem, which is a love interpretation of the nature of a flower&bee. » _________________§_________________ Op 14 no 1, Painting "Ophelia" by John William Waterhouse « Piece's nickname is "Ophelia's Song" » ________________§________________ Op 14 no 2, Image "Templier" woven wall hanging (?) « Piece Nicknamed "March of the Paladins" so i put templar paladin photage. » ________________§________________ Op 20 no 1, Illustration from "Romeo and Juliet" balcony scene by John H. F. Bacon « Medtner said to his pupil Edna Iles about this piece in a short: "Play as if appealing to someone with a fervent entreaty" - Source: hyperion-records.co.uk So i imaged for scene *Romeo passionately declares his love for Juliet* » ________________§________________ Op 20 no 2, a image references photo "Bells on A Hindu Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal" Shikhar Bhattarai. «The piece was nicknamed la campanella. But unlike Paganini's famous light piece of the same name, this piece is quite dark. The intro of the piece says "minaccioso", meaning threatening. The same expression is also found in the sonata op 53 no 2. In short, it represents the threatening ringing of somber bells. Of course, the image has been darkened and contrasted to match the piece. » ________________§________________ Op 26 no 1, Unknown artist(?) painting name(?) «It was chosen entirely according to the pastoral, relaxed atmosphere of the piece." ________________§________________ Op 26 no 2, Illustration from "The Wolf and The Kid" by Milo Winter from the book "Aesop Fables" « A fairy tale illustration dedicated to the tarantella-like figures around the exciting character of the piece » ________________§________________ Op 26 no 3, Painting "Portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Soto" by Pablo Picasso « Ah, Literally one of my favourite artist on again one of my favourite fairy tale. One of the examples that best evokes melancholy for me » ________________§________________ Op 26 no 4, Painting "In Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius" by Nikolay Dubovskoy «It is difficult to come up with an image for this piece, but for me it is a nostalgic narrative of a Russian winter day » ________________§________________ Op 31 no 3, painting name (?) artist(?) « Op 31 set was written in memory of A. Stanchinsky after his tragic death. This piece is also quite melancholic and deeply resonant on this occasion. This piece reminds me: While the night has begun to kill the day, While a bitter and violent wind blows inside, a sorrowful stroll with watching the reflections in the waters. » ________________§________________ Op 34 no 1, Painting "Vanitas still life" by Jan Lievens « It may sound strange firstly about image with the piece, but all the pieces in the op 34 set are inspired by poems and the images have been chosen to match them. The name of the piece here is "magic violin". Medtner does not specify, but it is likely inspired by Nikolay Gumilev's poem of the same name. Here is the English translation of the poem: "Darling boy, You are so merry, your smile is bright and clean, Don't ask for this perfect happiness, poison for all our worlds… You don't know, You don't know what defines this polish violin, What secret horror hides in these initial accords. A someone who takes her body in his imperative embrace, Will forget a peace in soul and lose placid light in eyes; Helly spirits like to hear these divine and regal plays, Rage and fury beings ramble on the violinist's trace. Always to be beating, weaving these clear strings in every sound, Eternally frantic bow will cry, weep in time across… And in downpour, in hail, and on white and wild ground, And until the west is firing, and when blushing east is grows. You'll be tire, and die away, instantly the song will worse. In that time You cannot even lift a finger or make breathe, - In the moment wild wolves will catch your throat by jaws, In a bloody frenzied motion they will get up to your breast. You'll be reason in that moment how sounds has been laugh And blood-thirty frights ticken at your terrified eyes, And the freezing deathly cold shackle up all in and out And your bride will be in tears, and your friend will fall in rise. Young boy, keep moving! There are not any treasures near here But I see you gaily smile, your glance is like a rays… Do it, well, posess the violin, look at twinkling eyes of fear And be lost by glorious passing, by the violinist's death" -Translation by Serge Makedon (Also u can look other translations) So, parallel to this poem, the piece begins with a feeling of compassionate pity & sadness. Then the piece intensifies as the violin goes crazy, spit fire, and becomes more intense on poem. In short, I put a vanitas in this piece that reminds of death along with the violin: the fatal violin » ________________§________________ Op 34 no 2, two images used here First one- painting "The Gust of the Wind" by Jean François Millet Second one- Illustration "On the Riverbank" by Ivan Bilibin «I used two images in this piece because Medtner has different descriptions of this piece. First of all, the piece quotes Tyutchev's poem: "...what we once called ours is gone for ever" Here's the poem: Peace When what we called our own has left us forever and, as if we lay in our grave, there's a heavy weight upon us, we can always cast a fleeting glance across the waters' slope where streams flow headlong, wherever the current leads. .......... Jostling each other, the currents run, hurry to some fateful summons they've heard in the distance. .......... Vainly we observe them. They'll never return, but the longer we watch, the easier we breathe. .......... Tears spring to our eyes and through them we see, excitedly bubbling, everything more swiftly born away. .......... The soul becomes oblivious and feels right then that it too is borne away by omnipotent waters. Also on same piece Medtner described to his friends for the work: "a tale told by a river bank" Thats why i used two images. First one is symbol of a loss (according poem) that blows away like the wind (left hand position) Also The poem and Medtner's expression clearly refer to the roaring river current, so the main image here is the river bank. (left hand also fits this river narrative) » ________________§________________

Could you tell me the name of the artist for the painting that precedes Primavera?

Muchas Gracias

Fantastic to hear a performance of Reverie at this speed. Much of what is out there is faster and "fixed" I have important memories about this piece from 30 years ago. Thank You

Thanks, I've searched online for the vintage performance to compare it to my today's experience of wittnessing it live <3

Technically, they should be called “tales”, “stories” or maybe “ballade” in English. They’re the stories of a man’s life and thoughts instead of some fictions.

Every composition by Alexander Scriabin is, by definition, Scriabinesque. Some of his works for piano could be called Chopinesque.

That's amazing, your work will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

What an impressive video! I can’t fathom the time you spent doing it ! Thank you so much :)

Das werde ich mir alles anhören. Super.

I think list is pretty short, I mean where is the Lugansky?

What are your favorite performance for each etude?

Some suggestions. Beethoven op 2 no 1 - Grinberg, Richter Beethoven op 2 no 2 - Minkhovsky, Gilels Beethoven op 2 no 3 - Hambourg for last movement, Hofmann rolls?, Richter, Gilels Beethoven op 7 - Feinberg Beethoven op 10 1 - Yudina Beethoven op 10 no 2 - Goldenweiser Beethoven op 10 no 3 - Igmunov Include all of Sofronitsky ones. Moonlight Sonata, Paderewski, Koclazski, Hofmann. That's it for now.
