The beginning of the secondo reminded me of the first two bars of the Andante mosso in Rimsky-Korsakov's piano concerto and the first two bars of the Andante in Glazunov's second piano concerto ….
Definitely Mendelssohn for me too, and On Wings of Song is a particularly good parallel. I also think of the slow movements from his piano trios, especially the first.
Songs without words, without a doubt, I'll edit this comment with the exact one, but it is pretty cool one, (the A section of that song without words of Mendelssohn is what i can kind of see in this piece) Edit: the Andante esspresivo, in E flat major
So this is only an arrangement of Goetz's Piano Quintett. I need to look if there is anywhere a recording of the original version. Will surely not sound as dry as this piano only version. But I'm a big fan of Goetz's Sonata for piano 4hands.
There are several good recordings out there of the original, but when I saw there was a four-hand arrangement I had to give it a try! Yes, the sonata is nice too, I think Goldstone and Clemmow paired it with Fibich’s 4-hand sonata on an album of theirs that I really enjoyed
@@PianoCurio Yes, there are several great videos of the 4 hands Sonata on youtube! And a very messy one I made myself 12 years ago as a multitrack recording :-)
To tell the truth, before knowing the composer's true identity, I thought this was composed by AI trying to replicate Mendelssohn/early Poulenc. I have listened to about 30 seconds. I'll come back in a bit... Back into it around 4 mins. Sounds like a 2-piano piece by a 2nd-rate romantic composer. (Don't like the visual layout.)...Have now heard the whole thing. A pleasant-sounding, effeminate and consistently bland effort by a talented amateur. Or an early work by someone famous. I didn't check the information on this video because I wasn't inspired to do so. Sorry if all this sounds a bit harsh, but you did ask who(m) it reminds me of.
@@Ezekiel_Pianist Of course - I understand that. What I meant is merely that the barlines between the parts are not matching accurately. Visually annoying. There is a better way to do this but it is time-consuming.
Thanks for the feedback on the score layout, it is something I have been considering improving for 4-hand works. And yes, I’m interested to hear your reaction regardless of how you feel about the music! I think I can guess your opinion on George Bernard Shaw’s wild appraisal in the description.
Yes, I read Shaw's comment, and he was entitled to his opinion. To be honest, Goetz's music was better than much junk out there, so perhaps I shouldn't have been so blunt about it. One might also say that Chopin's music was also sometimes effeminate, but so what. In any case- (I'm a pianist/composer) if I were doing this video (I'm not suggesting you should. It's only what I would do...) I would re-create the score in Finale, say, or some other music software to insure the layout is visually even between the 2 parts (primo and secondo). That would look nicer, IMHO. I know that would be time-consuming though. Thoughts?
@@foodforthought4546 that would be a clean way to do it. My first thought was to splice screenshots together and create a scrolling automation in Final Cut, something I tried initially for this video but ran into some obstacles on first attempt. I’m sure I could figure it out, and I’d prefer to retain the look of the original sheet music when possible.
This reminds me of Music

The beginning reminds me of Liszt’s Au lac de Wallenstadt
Agreed!!!
Same here! First thing in my head
It looks like a combination of literally all the works of classical music
You don't seem to know much classical music.
Very beautiful!
[The beginning at least] immediately reminded _me_ of a slower take on Chopin's G major Op.28 No.3.
It sounds a lot like Mendelssohn to me. If I had to choose one piece, maybe On Wings of Song.
Definitely Mendelssohn for me too, and On Wings of Song is a particularly good parallel. I also think of the slow movements from his piano trios, especially the first.
@@PianoCurio Oh, yes! I had to look up that movement to remind myself of what it sounds like, but yes, I totally hear the similarity!

Very nice music! Is it a bit reminiscent of Schumann's Widmung? Thanks for uploading the wonderful video.
❤❤❤

This reminds me of one of Debussys peices it has beauty and subtle ness like his Arabasqu
not even close
It's nothing like Debussy. More like Mendelssohn.
After Re listening to again it definitely does sound like Mendelssohn idk I thought it sounded like Debussy 🤣😅
Liszt, Étude trascendentale in F major "Paysage".
Elements of Mendelssohn, Brahms, Chopin.
I'm another to whom this piece sounds quite Mendelssohnian
Jingle Bells.
Sounds like Chopin's prelude no.3!
I'm getting strong McDowell or Granger vibes
The begining brings Schumann to my mind, but not the mainstream Schumann, more like an Albumblatter Schumann, of that makes any sense haha
Kinda like Great Value Schumann or more of a Kirkland Signature Schumann?
Glazunovish

The reason for the layout is because it’s for piano 4 hands so you see the 2 treble staves and 2 bass staves for both players.

Needs a singer, not enough going on 😏
