I was previously unaware of this performance by Konstantin Scherbakov. Myaskovsky's Second Piano Sonata got off to a very shaky start. Composed in 1912, it was frankly beyond the capabilities of its dedicatee, Boris Zakharov. He kept putting off the premiere, eventually presenting it (none too successfully) at the end of 1916. After one postponement an amused Prokofiev gently rebuked his friend: "It's a positively superb work, but mercilessly difficult, thanks to its chromatic and contrapuntal construction." And, in a diary entry from 1920, Prokofiev reported: "Learning the Myaskovsky Sonata. Its constantly shifting chromaticisms are terribly hard to remember."
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Pedro Korbin thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Another composer not to be heard on our two local classical music stations, KUSC and KMZT. Ineed, I am age 70, and this is the first time in my life that I have heard this wonderful work.
Developing the way, Rachmaninov, Medtner and the chromatic of Reger had started - with astoinishing virtuosity of the faboulus Konstantin Sherbakov - thank you for posting !
Just to be sure: Does Scherbakov play the original or the revised version here? -The sheet music, given the date in the beginning, seems to be the original version, and the music+score seem to fit together (at least to me), but still, i'm not sure...
Sounds like a terribly difficult piece (and seeing the notes It is). Unfortunately that does not automatically mean more beautiful.Compliments for the playing, stil. Very clever!

Can't believe it's only 12 minutes....feels like an eternity
Can't believe it's only 12 notes!

@Pedro Korbin it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Fletcher Alan No problem xD
Лучшая соната Мясковского,которую я очень люблю и всегда с восторгом слушаю. Интерпретацию Щербакова - впервые.

One of my favourite piano sonata.
3:45 a sudden Dies Irae appears!! :D
Such beauty
Aaand hello again xD
Великолепно! Спасибо, Константин Щербаков!
What a Sonata!
Developing the way, Rachmaninov, Medtner and the chromatic of Reger had started - with astoinishing virtuosity of the faboulus Konstantin Sherbakov - thank you for posting !
Some moments remind me a lot of Medtner’s Sonata Tragica!
Well Myaskowsky was along with Rachmaninoff, Feinberg, Stanchinsky and Sorabji big Medtner' fan!
1:53
@Felis Skalkotris Sorabjitus This resembles a little bit to Reinhold’s op.30 no.12 but it is in f minor
So glad you are uploading again! Thanks for the divulgation.
That is rather brilliant. Played one of his smaller works which was rather late-romantic. But this piece seems to be well into the 20th century.
Myaskovsky is overall more early 20th century in style, however there are exceptions e.g. the second Cello Sonata
Amazing. Thanks again.
I hear so many motives
Always good to see rhe Dies Irae trotted out.
6:20 Very Scriabin fantasy-esque. Same key of B minor as well.
07:59
супер

Nikolaï Miaskovsky's works are available at Les Editions Le Chant du Monde

3:44 Dies Irae
3:44 dies irae
There is some Berlioz in there, the last part of symphonie fantastique
That part comes from an old Gregorian Chant, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and many other composers have made use of the motif
@@ScriabinOTBeach Dies Irae (Aka Rachmaninoff's "idee fixe" lol)
Kind of Feinbergy
I hear Scriabin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff in it.
Totentanz at 3:45 ?
Ax Mth Dies Irae*
It's Dies Irae, Liszt's Tottentanz was a paraphrase on it.
Sounds like a terribly difficult piece (and seeing the notes It is). Unfortunately that does not automatically mean more beautiful.Compliments for the playing, stil. Very clever!
Lisz totentanz :D 3:44
It's not specific to the Liszt Totentanz, it's Dies Irae
Dies Irae
What hurts me the most is how weak this pianist plays the bass. Just follow what’s written in the score!
Totentanz theme Liszt.
You mean dies irae? It is a medieval chant.
