Viktor Stepanovych Kosenko was a Soviet composer, concert pianist, and educator born in Saint Petersburg. He was regarded by his contemporaries as a master of lyricism. His first compositions were markedly influenced by the works of composers such as Alexander Scriabin, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and his compatriot Mykola Lysenko.
Kosenko's life is conclusively divided into three distinct phases, in Warsaw, where he studied with renowned teachers Mikhail Sokolovsky and Iryna Miklashovskaya, in Zhytomyr, where he began teaching piano and music theory at the Music Technicum, later becoming director of the Zhytomyr Music School, and finally in Kiev, where he devoted more time to symphonic compositions such as his Heroic Overture, which brought him due recognition in the world of Soviet music. A true artist in the very sense of the word, he was a leading figure among the broad-minded artistic collective of the 20th-century Soviet music.
Kosenko's legacy is filled with romantic feeling and intonations of Slavic folk songs and Western-European influences. His vocal, chamber and symphonic works are among the most important pieces of that time in USSR. He composed over 100 compositions for piano among waltzes, preludes, nocturnes, sonatas and mazurkas, in a total of about 250 musical works such as his symphonic Moldavian poem, violin and piano concertos, trios and string quartets during his short musical career. His vocal compositions include a large number of ballads, choral and folk arrangements as well.
Eleven Études in the Form of Old Dances (also 11 Études in the Form of Old Dances), Op.19, written specifically for educational purposes between 1928 and 1930 by Ukrainian pianist and composer Viktor Kosenko, is a late-romantic collection of solo piano pieces mingled with elements of Ukrainian folk-like melodies, using French-baroque dance forms such as minuet, allemande, courante, sarabande, and gavotte as concept.
Consisting of 11 pieces, among them the melodic gavotte, the two-part Bourrée, and the Gigue in sonata form, the collection presents many technical challenges such as the use of overlapping octaves, doubling in thirds and sixths, and pedaling. It was once described by Kosenko as a 'family album' with each piece dedicated to a member of his family such as his nephew Fedir, to whom Rigaudon was dedicated, and his wife Anna who was the dedicatée of the 18-minute long Passacaglia.

Surprisingly engaging all the way through, wow
Yep, this charming collection of etudes deserves more attention. Well, at least the Passacaglia has earned its reputation.
These pieces were some of the most surprisingly inventive discoveries of my life.
Glad you liked this at least as much as I did!
Introducing one of the best classical score videos ever made! Thank you for posting this video! I really hope it doesn't get taken down.
I'm flattered. Thank you.
I screamed when you uploaded. Thanks!
Thank you very much !
You're very welcome!
BEAUTIFUL!
How did something this fun to listen to fly under my radar for so long? These look like a lot of fun to play as well!
Oh my god. This passacaglia is pure epicness.
The passacaglia is legendary. I think some parts would sound better if they were played faster. I think i'm too used to Godowsky's passacaglia and Alkan's le festin d'Esope
No 7 so beautiful
While the passacaglia is obviously the heart of this opus (and it takes that spot grandly), it does not overshadow the other pieces in my opinion. perfectly balanced set of dances/etudes, with an incredible passacaglia. the 9th variation reminds me a lot of Schumann, and the 28ht and 29th of Paganini. the 38th is just magnificent, with its heart wrenching downward leaps in the melody, and the coda finishes it perfectly, with those stingingly bright major seventh chords. beautiful piece.
kosenko's harmonic language (especially in the gigue) I feel is reminiscent of fliarkovsky's and early Prokofiev's neoclassicism. contrapuntal and kind of square, but with absolute mastery of the leading of voices. this is a great find, thank you for uploading!
Wow!
By the way, obviously the Passacaglia needs a Bösendorfer Imperial right at the start. Is there a recording using it?
I don't know if this recording uses a Bösendorfer. So far I can't find any performance on RUclips that uses it. This is also the only commercial recording of the entire set I could find.
But Bosendorfer timbre is brighter and less warm. To me that passage is very warm.
Бравооооо!!!!! Только музыка спасёт этот безумный мир.
Горжуся, що в Україні буди такі талановиті композитори❤
50:20 gets my style
Wait, I thought the Passacaglia was a stand-alone piece, not in a collection! Great "suite", anyway.
That's one of the reasons I made this score-video. Since the Passacaglia deserves its own, why not make the score-video of the entire 11 etudes?
Also thanks for watching.
I also thought so! Funny that you just uploaded this, since I was in a discussion about Lysenko, and the passacaglia reminded me of his style. It's basically the only Kosenko piece i knew, but now i know more! Thanks for the work!
@@PianoScoreVids You're very welcome!
Encore un compositeur "INCONNU"
There's a thread of influence of Rachmaninov.
Gavotte sounds so much like Scriabin
I used to really LOVE the Passacglia when I was in college 5-6 years ago... I just remembered it now out of the blue so thought of listening to it again with great anticipation...but wow, I can’t believe how opposite I feel about right now.. it’s so cheesy.. so bland... It’s really boring.. omg.. rip to one of my favorites before..
Same it took me forever to remember what composer it was I looked up passacaglia and couldn't find it. When I finally found it I was so excited but a little too excited it definitely doesn't compare to what I thought it was before.
I've never been so freaked out by a comment that so accurately described my experience with a piece in such an uncannily specific way...
Everything you said, "loved it when you were in college", "now it feels cheesy and bland", it's all literally what happened to me.
As u mature lots of your previous attractions will fall away.
Listen to contemporary music Ligeti,Boulez but the greats never lose lustreMozart, Handel even Satie remain.Arensky,Hummel fall away
Are you the old Music Stuff?
Yup.
@@PentameronSV yey
@@PentameronSV Are you the youtuber formerly known as Hexameron?
@@4grammaton No, but I named my channel Pentameron as a tribute to that channel (RIP).
@@PentameronSV You are a worthy successor

ps i misspelled everything on prpoee
It's from Schnittke's Violin Sonata No.2, 'Quasi una Sonata'.
Pentameron yees yees thank very mch
its unbelieveble how he say absolutely nothing in 6 minutes... sounds like very sophisticated compositional exercises , maybe only good as etudend to show how influencial Bach is 22:00
What an incredibly ignorant, arrogant and uneducated take on this piece.
