Part 1 : Sonata in F Minor, Op. 5 Medtner's Sonata in F minor, Op. 5, is the first sonata Medtner composed. This sonata shows some influence of Scriabin and Rachmaninoff, however, its very original and already features some of the genius Medtner's craftmanship. Even though not representing the later works of the composer, Medtner gaining in subtlety and complexity in the years, this work is already particularly impressive, and clearly shows Medtner's ability to compose pieces with a total mastery of the structure. The first movement is dramatic and already seems to feature tale-like Medtner style. Then, the second movement is an intermezzo, darker than the first movement and march-like. The third movement is marked "Largo divoto" and make the transition with the fourth movement with an epic maestoso climax. The fourth movement is absolutely incredible : an unstoppable flow, a diabolic race, getting crazier and crazier until the final measures : an explosive, jubilant end.The two performances left me speechless. There won't be much to say about Tozer recording, it's simply amazing, full of fire and passion. But then, i got absolutely stroke by the Debargue interpretation. A relatively unknown Medtner performer, giving one of the best performances of the sonata. He plays extremely delicately where it needs, has an absolute control over every single details, is very clear but without being unemotional and cold ; in fact, this is maybe the most expressive performance of the sonata. Debargue absolutely owns the sonata. Performance reccomended : Lucas Debargue - 30:50 Sonata Triade, Op. 11 The Medtner Sonata Triade consists in a group of 3 sonatas, dedicated to the memory of Andrey Bratenshi, the composer’s brother-in-law who committed suicide in 1906, though they were not written as a response to this event but were already nearing completion at the time. This sonatas are 3 hidden gems of the piano litterature, each one featuring particularly charming themes and rythmes. The overall ambiance is sunny, beautiful and delicate most of the time, with some really joyous/explosive moments, in contrast with the general calm and quiet atmosphere. The only exception is the first theme of the second sonata, in D minor, sad and longing. Sonata in G Minor, Op. 22 The Medtner's sonata in G minor, Opus 22, was often considered to be one of Medtner's greatest, and is surely the most performed and well known out of them all. It has been performed by Prokofiev, by Horowitz, and recorded by Moiseiwitsch and Gilels, giants of the piano. It hasn't been recorded by Horowitz, because of the mediocre critics that incorrectly opined that ""not a single phrase of it quickens the pulse"! It is so appreciated for diverse reasons ; its powerful drama, its refined beauty, the first note already sends the listener to another world. But also for its incredible structure, coherent and organic. As Heinrich Neuhaus wrote: ‘The sonata’s trajectory is felt from the first to the last note as one uninterrupted line.’ The interpretations here contrasts a lot. Gilels recording is fiery, very dramatic, and overall an amazing performance of the piece, with some truly captivating interpretation passages. Milne is extremely clear, the playing is very precise, but without being cold and unemotional. Its actually the opposite, as his performance is both technically and emotionally accomplished. Now about Tozer, well as always he plays with that refinement and elegance that makes him one of the best Medtner interpreter. It's dramatic, passioned, and very delicate. Performance reccomended : Gilels - 1:30:18 Sonata Skazka, Op. 25 No. 1 The Medtner Sonata Skazka (Sonata Tales) is a beautiful sonata, a magical journey that perfeclty fits its name. It contains 3 movements. Eight of the remaining nine sonatas bear either an epigraph or, as here, a title indicating their general nature. The present work, otherwise called by its composer, reversing the order of priority, Märchen-Sonate, combines elements of both genres of the titles, being a sonata in layout, with the first of its three movements in regular sonata form, and a Märchen (or Skazka) in substance, particularly in the monothematic following movements: the second has a melody remarkable for anticipating Rachmaninov’s famous eighteenth variation of his ‘Paganini’ Rhapsody, written twenty-three years later; the third, a stern march in 5/2 time, incorporates reminiscences of the preceding movements. Sonata "Night Wind", Op 25 No. 2 The most collossal sonata by Medtner. Misleadingly appearing from its numbering to be a mere appendage to the modestly scaled Sonata-Skazka, Medtner’s Sonata in E minor is in fact the composer’s most extended work in the genre, a monumental epic which taxes to the full the capacities of performer and listener alike and which some have claimed to be the greatest piano sonata of the twentieth century. It is headed by an epigraph from Tyutchev’s poem Silentium, in which the poet sees chaos as man’s natural inheritance: What are you wailing about, night wind, what are you bemoaning with such fury? What does your strange voice mean, now indistinct and plaintive, now loud? In a language intelligible to the heart you speak of torment past understanding, and you moan and at times stir up frenzied sounds in the heart! Oh, do not sing those fearful songs about primeval native Chaos! How avidly the world of the soul at night listens to its favourite story! It strains to burst out of the mortal breast and longs to merge with the Infinite … Oh, do not wake the sleeping tempests; beneath them Chaos stirs! Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 3:41:48 Sonata Ballade, Op. 27 The composer revealed that this sonata was based on a poem by Afanasy Fet describing Christ’s temptation in the wilderness-further evidence of the spiritual element in his work and the loftiness of his inspiration. There are three movements, joined without a break. The first opens with a joyful song celebrating the radiant beauty of spring. This implies the immanence of a Creator and the need for religious faith, something seemingly denied by the second subject, restless and anxious in spirit, the conflict reflected in the cross-rhythm of the accompaniment. The struggle continues in the development, and although the buoyant mood of the opening returns, it is utterly dashed in the turbulent coda which is brought to a despairing conclusion by a series of angry chords. Both the brief second movement, Introduzione, and the Finale are headed by quotations from the poem itself: ‘Satan stole away’, ‘And the Angels came’, charting the triumph of righteousness over evil. The malevolent ‘satanic’ theme of the Introduzione is gradually rebuffed as the movement proceeds by fragments of another melody, one that is at last heard in full as the serene second subject of the Finale. One of Medtner’s most beautiful inspirations, this was clearly special for the composer; he used it again in two other works with religious overtones, a setting of Pushkin’s poem The Muse and the Piano Quintet. After a stern fugal episode based on the satanic theme, the music culminates in a joyous restatement of the second theme and the sonata’s opening, against a background of pealing bells. Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 4:35:21, Tozer - 4:14:28.
Part 2: Sonata in A Minor "War", Op. 30 Ferocious, powerful, desperate and dramatic, what other adjectives could describe Medtner's 9th sonata, "War Sonata" so well? One of his best sonatas, just listen to the climax... Yeah, amazing. This sonata has only one movement. This masterpiece has been written during the 1st World War. Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 5:44:12. Sonata Reminiscenza, Op. 38 No. 1 Medtner's tenth sonata, known as "Sonata Reminiscenza", opens the cycle of the great "Forgotten Melodies". This sonata starts by a beautiful motif, nostalgic, and despairing, marked Allegretto Tranquillo. This motif is particularly popular in Medtner's music, as it is reused in two other pieces from the Forgotten Melodies Cycle 1 ; the Canzona Serenata Op. 38 no. 6, and the Alla Reminiscenza Op. 38 No. 8, an extremly related work to the Sonata Reminiscenza, as it uses this motif during the whole piece, resulting in one of the most beautiful piece ever created. The piece is quickly marked by passionate accents, gradually leading to a tumultuous and more agitated part that intensifies the mood of haunted anguish, culminating in two arpeggiate cries of despair. Medtner continuously searches for colour and intensity here. The obscurity and despair is suddenly and brievly lifted by a brighter and full of hope new theme unexpectedly introduced into the recapitulation. After this theme, the piece slowly return to the tender, depressed and nostalgic atmoshpere of the opening, showing the return to the first situation. This particularly emotional Medtner's work shows perhaps Medtner’s reflection on his own difficult life and imminent departure from his homeland. Performance reccomended : Kissin - 6:25:37 Sonata Tragica, Op. 39 No. 5 Here is it. The storm. An emotional tempest. An unstoppable flow of emotions, dramatic, tragic, intense, full of despair, that gets at point romantic and even nostalgic, going through threatening and stormy feelings, and pure beautiful joy. That is, for me, one of the best sonata and piece ever composed for the piano. Medtner insisted on this piece to be always preceeded by the Canzona Matinata Op. 39 No. 4. Performance reccomended : Tozer (1) - 7:06:18 Sonata Romantica Op. 53 No. 1 Medtner's Sonata Romantica is one of those works which the beauty just cannot be explained with words, only repeated listenings. It's so complex, intricate, even reserved that it can be hard to understand the first times. Though, at the point where you understand this work, you will just not be able to get rid of it. Composed of 4 movements, Romanza, a Scherzo, Meditazione, and a breathtaking finale, it is in the key of B-Flat minor. Tozer plays this masterpiece with an incredible reffinement, with an, as always, extremely contrasted playing, going between beautiful and tender pianos, and intense, passioned, even violent forte, full of bravura. Performance reccomended : Gvozdetsky - 7:58:56 Sonata Minacciosa, Op. 53 No. 2 From the "menace" of the Italian minaccia, Medtner offered the explanation "Have I not been threatened by Life?" for the name of this turbulent, evasive piece. It is a wonderful, ambiguous and perplexing masterwork ; a departure from his previous sonatas, in both form and tonality. Medtner called it his ‘most contemporary composition’, explaining that it reflected ‘the threatening atmosphere of contemporary events’, though it was also probably as much affected by his own recent misfortunes. In one long movement, which exhaustively treats only a small amount of material, the work arguably shows Medtner at his most rigorously intellectual. In particular, the development section incorporates an elaborate fugal episode, and is remarkable as much for the range of tonalities through which it passes as for its rhythmic freedom. In a tailpiece to the coda, the composer ends the sonata in characteristic fashion with an outburst of defiant optimism. Marc-André Hamelin described it as "the most concentrated 15 minutes of music one could ever hope to play or listen to". It was dedicated to the Canadian pianist and pupil of Scriabin, Alfred La Liberté, one of Medtner's most loyal supporters. Performance reccomended : Tozer - 8:41:19 Sonata Idylle, Op. 56 The Sonata-Idyll in G major, Op. 56 of 1937, is Medtner's fourteenth and final piano sonata. Highly contrasting with his previous Sonata Minacciosa, a threatening, stormy and intense work, the character of the the Sonata Idylle is serene and bucolic from start to finish. Dismayed by the technical difficulty of so much of his music, which in effect precluded its sale to the majority of amateur pianists, the composer’s publisher had asked him to write some less demanding-and potentially more marketable-works. The first movement, a simple ternary form, is the most technically simple solo piano work Medtner ever wrote, yet easily one of his most beautiful. The second movement is a restless sonata-allegro with three themes. It is strangely touching to think of the exiled Russian composer working on this sonata, evoking an Arcadian world, in the incongruous surroundings of the bustling North London suburb of Golders Green. Scarred by the vicissitudes of a troubled life, dispirited by the triumph of the modernism in art he so much despised and the neglect of his own work, Medtner, despite everything, never ceased composing, the faithful servant of his muse, uncompromising in his artistic integrity. To the end he remained, as Glazunov described him, ‘the firm defender of the sacred laws of eternal art’. Performance reccomended : Tozer - 8:58:54
There is a reality that comes through Medtner so different from others. It is a sense of nostalgia without affectation. Bless you for putting this fine collection together. I will be listening to it for a very long time.
Medtner is entirely underrated. I wonder what his contemporaries thought of his music. The weaving of the different melodic lines is akin to how Bach arranged the voices in his fugues.. Rachmaninoff's drama, I could go on. I wish I had known about Medtner decades ago. Thank you for this amazing post.
A Month later and I'm still so grateful for this upload. The same old performances on youtube got a little stale, and these performances are all incredible. Thanks again, ReefShark
Remarkable. You deserve thanks from everyone interested in piano music for making this video. Most have no interest in, or knowledge of, Medtner so I don't expect that to happen. However, I'm convinced that he is at least one of the greatest piano composers to have lived, a fact seems to be gaining ground at long last.
Wow. So good! This video contains most of the performances in my Medtner's sonata playlist. No longer have to choose from a playlist! If there were no copyright issues, we could hear more of beautiful performances such as Hamelin's.
I would like to express my gratitude that you have taken the effort to upload Medtner's Sonatas for Piano, as interpreted by various performers. The opportunity to enjoy and compare their differing interpretations is a boon. (I must say that I enjoyed your upload of Ponochevny's interpretation of the Op. 25 No. 2! Such clarity, such passion contained within it and yet - it is so difficult for performers to actually bring these qualities to full bloom.)
Merci Seigneur pour cette magnifique découverte .. La virtuosité incontestable de Medtner me touche particulièrement et jongle délicieusement avec la sensibilité des émotions de l'âme
Probably the greatest effort ever put into a scored video, amazing work on all the Medtner sonatas, and I'd like if you could do Protopopov's first sonata, thanks.
Monumentale compilation des sonates de Medtner que j’avais en CD avec les mélodies oubliées par Geoffrey Tozer (Chandos)Compositeur , œuvres et interprète oubliés !
Метнер, к сожалению, забытый композитор. Но ведь его произведения прекрасны. Жаль, что именитыЕ пианисты предпочитают исполнять произведения только именитых композиторов. Было бы неплохо, если бы они знакомили нас и забытыми: Рамо, Борткевич, Момпту и другими.
A great thing one can listen to these piece here, thanks. However, considering that I'm horrified by Scriabin and haven't ever listened through any of his pieces, if I say these sonatas don't really speak to me but I can listen through them (once, I guess), I hope it'll be taken as a kind of appreciation. But I enjoy his piano concertos a lot more, and that of others of the time or of a bit before as well. I guess life would be boring if everybody enjoyed the same - music, paintings, architecture or food...
Medtner는 Rachmaninoff, Scriabin과 같이 언급되어야 할 위대한 작곡가다. 그의 음악은 심오하고 깊이가 있으며 난해함 속에 서정성과 구조적 아름다움을 갖췄다. 대부분 소나타의 연주는 Tozer의 연주가 음색이 깔끔하고 듣기 좋으나 Night Wind만큼은 Eckardstein의 연주가 명연주라고 할 수 있다. 그는 Night Wind의 모든 음을 명료하게 연주하며 강조해야 할 멜로디를 확실하게 표현하는 연주를 선보인다. 이 모든 음악을 유튜브에서 들을 수 있게 해주어서 매우 감사하다.
How did it take you to make such a video and to what extent was your computer able to handle 9 hours of video? I can't upload 3 hours of video from the phone yet...
@@SeigneurReefShark what a sacrifice for whole big project! What programs are you using? I made 3 hours of videos one by one in total, but my phone couldn't afford to put them all together. The only problem is to combine them all. (Oh, I also put illustrations and pictures to represent each piece...) I think I'll do it on the computer, it's torture to do it from the phone lmao
@@fredericfrancoischopin6971 yes, well i mean that's why I don't upload anymore for now, it really takes a lot of time. I'm using shotcut, pretty easy to use, but it's on PC, i don't think the phone could hold it, as you said.
@@SeigneurReefShark and also can I ask, May I use your Medtner two pieces for two pianos "knight errant" video for provided that to mention your channel in description? I would be very grateful for that (yeah the video I made Medtner all fairy tales :D)
Да, увы, вы правы, дорогие друзья - комментаторы: Метнер недооценён. Как и многие другие:Поуленк, Момпту (не знаю, как правильно пишется его фамилия по-русски). Это потому, что именитых музыканты предпочитают исполнять произведения именитых композиторов.
Thanks for this great compilation. I'm curious to know approximately the difficulty ranking of these sonatas. I haven't played any of them, but it seems clear that Op. 56 is the easiest, and Op. 25 No. 2 seems to be the hardest. But what falls in between? The three Op. 11 sonatas (my favorite) seem to be near the easier side. I would appreciate insight from anyone who has scanned them in detail or played them.
This is probably a hot take, but I think listening to these in order is more important towards understanding them than listening to Scriabin's sonatas in order.
Probably, but I admit that when discovering medtner, I started with the later ones, and the first sonatas after. But for Scriabin I don't remember, I listened to them in total disorder ahah
Geoffrey Tozer's recording for the Op. 27 feels very fluid and lyrical, stimulates the imagination but lacks a bit in composure and becomes "blurry" where you want to understand the notes clearly and appreciate the changes in rythm: i've preferred to listen to it initially to get a feel of the piece and understand it. Hamish Milne's makes the notes and the structures very clear, it's in absolute control and he doesn't let a single part go to waste: not completely satisfactory, but it's a god-send for students and those who feel ready to put their fingers and time on the pianoforte to learn this beautiful Sonata. If only a recording with the best qualities of both philosophies existed. A question for the uploader if possible, from which edition was the score? It's way more readable compared to the one i downloaded from Petrucci and used until now.
I'm very pleased to see this posted here, but I have a problem. Because one can't count on anything on RUclips lasting indefinitely, I use one of those utilities to save videos of serious interest to me to my own computer. If I want to come back to something, this also saves on download data, which I do have to keep an eye on. My problem is that, when I downloaded this and played the file, throughout much of it, there are repeated short breaks in the sound every 10 seconds or so, and it completely spoils the music. This does not occur when I try playing the same passage direct from RUclips. I do not in general have this problem, but I have noticed it once before with an extremely long download, say of 8 hours or more. I don't want to waste my data trying to download it again, because I tried re-downloading previously, but the new file was exactly the same. Do you (or anyone who reads this) have any idea what's going on, and how I can get round it and download this file without these glitches? I would appreciate any guidance. I think Medtner is a wonderful composer, and I am very glad this is here, and I want to preserve my own copy of it if I can. Thank you.
Yeah, lots of references to Beethoven and Chopin as well are quite obvious, though Medtner always finds a way to make it his own very unique composition.

Back in my day, youtube had a 15 minute video length limit. Thanks for this! ☺
Yes, remember when they split it up into Part 1 and Part 2 just to upload more stuff?
Part 1 :
Sonata in F Minor, Op. 5
Medtner's Sonata in F minor, Op. 5, is the first sonata Medtner composed. This sonata shows some influence of Scriabin and Rachmaninoff, however, its very original and already features some of the genius Medtner's craftmanship. Even though not representing the later works of the composer, Medtner gaining in subtlety and complexity in the years, this work is already particularly impressive, and clearly shows Medtner's ability to compose pieces with a total mastery of the structure. The first movement is dramatic and already seems to feature tale-like Medtner style. Then, the second movement is an intermezzo, darker than the first movement and march-like. The third movement is marked "Largo divoto" and make the transition with the fourth movement with an epic maestoso climax. The fourth movement is absolutely incredible : an unstoppable flow, a diabolic race, getting crazier and crazier until the final measures : an explosive, jubilant end.The two performances left me speechless. There won't be much to say about Tozer recording, it's simply amazing, full of fire and passion. But then, i got absolutely stroke by the Debargue interpretation. A relatively unknown Medtner performer, giving one of the best performances of the sonata. He plays extremely delicately where it needs, has an absolute control over every single details, is very clear but without being unemotional and cold ; in fact, this is maybe the most expressive performance of the sonata. Debargue absolutely owns the sonata. Performance reccomended : Lucas Debargue - 30:50
Sonata Triade, Op. 11
The Medtner Sonata Triade consists in a group of 3 sonatas, dedicated to the memory of Andrey Bratenshi, the composer’s brother-in-law who committed suicide in 1906, though they were not written as a response to this event but were already nearing completion at the time. This sonatas are 3 hidden gems of the piano litterature, each one featuring particularly charming themes and rythmes. The overall ambiance is sunny, beautiful and delicate most of the time, with some really joyous/explosive moments, in contrast with the general calm and quiet atmosphere. The only exception is the first theme of the second sonata, in D minor, sad and longing.
Sonata in G Minor, Op. 22
The Medtner's sonata in G minor, Opus 22, was often considered to be one of Medtner's greatest, and is surely the most performed and well known out of them all. It has been performed by Prokofiev, by Horowitz, and recorded by Moiseiwitsch and Gilels, giants of the piano. It hasn't been recorded by Horowitz, because of the mediocre critics that incorrectly opined that ""not a single phrase of it quickens the pulse"! It is so appreciated for diverse reasons ; its powerful drama, its refined beauty, the first note already sends the listener to another world. But also for its incredible structure, coherent and organic. As Heinrich Neuhaus wrote: ‘The sonata’s trajectory is felt from the first to the last note as one uninterrupted line.’ The interpretations here contrasts a lot. Gilels recording is fiery, very dramatic, and overall an amazing performance of the piece, with some truly captivating interpretation passages. Milne is extremely clear, the playing is very precise, but without being cold and unemotional. Its actually the opposite, as his performance is both technically and emotionally accomplished. Now about Tozer, well as always he plays with that refinement and elegance that makes him one of the best Medtner interpreter. It's dramatic, passioned, and very delicate. Performance reccomended : Gilels - 1:30:18
Sonata Skazka, Op. 25 No. 1
The Medtner Sonata Skazka (Sonata Tales) is a beautiful sonata, a magical journey that perfeclty fits its name. It contains 3 movements. Eight of the remaining nine sonatas bear either an epigraph or, as here, a title indicating their general nature. The present work, otherwise called by its composer, reversing the order of priority, Märchen-Sonate, combines elements of both genres of the titles, being a sonata in layout, with the first of its three movements in regular sonata form, and a Märchen (or Skazka) in substance, particularly in the monothematic following movements: the second has a melody remarkable for anticipating Rachmaninov’s famous eighteenth variation of his ‘Paganini’ Rhapsody, written twenty-three years later; the third, a stern march in 5/2 time, incorporates reminiscences of the preceding movements.
Sonata "Night Wind", Op 25 No. 2
The most collossal sonata by Medtner. Misleadingly appearing from its numbering to be a mere appendage to the modestly scaled Sonata-Skazka, Medtner’s Sonata in E minor is in fact the composer’s most extended work in the genre, a monumental epic which taxes to the full the capacities of performer and listener alike and which some have claimed to be the greatest piano sonata of the twentieth century. It is headed by an epigraph from Tyutchev’s poem Silentium, in which the poet sees chaos as man’s natural inheritance:
What are you wailing about, night wind, what are you bemoaning with such fury? What does your strange voice mean, now indistinct and plaintive, now loud? In a language intelligible to the heart you speak of torment past understanding, and you moan and at times stir up frenzied sounds in the heart!
Oh, do not sing those fearful songs about primeval native Chaos! How avidly the world of the soul at night listens to its favourite story! It strains to burst out of the mortal breast and longs to merge with the Infinite … Oh, do not wake the sleeping tempests; beneath them Chaos stirs! Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 3:41:48
Sonata Ballade, Op. 27
The composer revealed that this sonata was based on a poem by Afanasy Fet describing Christ’s temptation in the wilderness-further evidence of the spiritual element in his work and the loftiness of his inspiration. There are three movements, joined without a break. The first opens with a joyful song celebrating the radiant beauty of spring. This implies the immanence of a Creator and the need for religious faith, something seemingly denied by the second subject, restless and anxious in spirit, the conflict reflected in the cross-rhythm of the accompaniment. The struggle continues in the development, and although the buoyant mood of the opening returns, it is utterly dashed in the turbulent coda which is brought to a despairing conclusion by a series of angry chords.
Both the brief second movement, Introduzione, and the Finale are headed by quotations from the poem itself: ‘Satan stole away’, ‘And the Angels came’, charting the triumph of righteousness over evil. The malevolent ‘satanic’ theme of the Introduzione is gradually rebuffed as the movement proceeds by fragments of another melody, one that is at last heard in full as the serene second subject of the Finale. One of Medtner’s most beautiful inspirations, this was clearly special for the composer; he used it again in two other works with religious overtones, a setting of Pushkin’s poem The Muse and the Piano Quintet. After a stern fugal episode based on the satanic theme, the music culminates in a joyous restatement of the second theme and the sonata’s opening, against a background of pealing bells. Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 4:35:21, Tozer - 4:14:28.
Medtner has so many signature motifs. It's fascinating to see them pop up in different guises and contexts.
1:22:41 gives me chills every time. It's like a breath of fresh air
I love the Sonata in C Major! It was my introduction to the Medtner sonatas.
What an achievement! My heartfelt thanks for this great compilation!
Part 2:
Sonata in A Minor "War", Op. 30
Ferocious, powerful, desperate and dramatic, what other adjectives could describe Medtner's 9th sonata, "War Sonata" so well? One of his best sonatas, just listen to the climax... Yeah, amazing. This sonata has only one movement. This masterpiece has been written during the 1st World War. Performance reccomended : Eckardstein - 5:44:12.
Sonata Reminiscenza, Op. 38 No. 1
Medtner's tenth sonata, known as "Sonata Reminiscenza", opens the cycle of the great "Forgotten Melodies". This sonata starts by a beautiful motif, nostalgic, and despairing, marked Allegretto Tranquillo. This motif is particularly popular in Medtner's music, as it is reused in two other pieces from the Forgotten Melodies Cycle 1 ; the Canzona Serenata Op. 38 no. 6, and the Alla Reminiscenza Op. 38 No. 8, an extremly related work to the Sonata Reminiscenza, as it uses this motif during the whole piece, resulting in one of the most beautiful piece ever created. The piece is quickly marked by passionate accents, gradually leading to a tumultuous and more agitated part that intensifies the mood of haunted anguish, culminating in two arpeggiate cries of despair. Medtner continuously searches for colour and intensity here. The obscurity and despair is suddenly and brievly lifted by a brighter and full of hope new theme unexpectedly introduced into the recapitulation. After this theme, the piece slowly return to the tender, depressed and nostalgic atmoshpere of the opening, showing the return to the first situation. This particularly emotional Medtner's work shows perhaps Medtner’s reflection on his own difficult life and imminent departure from his homeland. Performance reccomended : Kissin - 6:25:37
Sonata Tragica, Op. 39 No. 5
Here is it. The storm. An emotional tempest. An unstoppable flow of emotions, dramatic, tragic, intense, full of despair, that gets at point romantic and even nostalgic, going through threatening and stormy feelings, and pure beautiful joy. That is, for me, one of the best sonata and piece ever composed for the piano. Medtner insisted on this piece to be always preceeded by the Canzona Matinata Op. 39 No. 4. Performance reccomended : Tozer (1) - 7:06:18
Sonata Romantica Op. 53 No. 1
Medtner's Sonata Romantica is one of those works which the beauty just cannot be explained with words, only repeated listenings. It's so complex, intricate, even reserved that it can be hard to understand the first times. Though, at the point where you understand this work, you will just not be able to get rid of it. Composed of 4 movements, Romanza, a Scherzo, Meditazione, and a breathtaking finale, it is in the key of B-Flat minor. Tozer plays this masterpiece with an incredible reffinement, with an, as always, extremely contrasted playing, going between beautiful and tender pianos, and intense, passioned, even violent forte, full of bravura. Performance reccomended : Gvozdetsky - 7:58:56
Sonata Minacciosa, Op. 53 No. 2
From the "menace" of the Italian minaccia, Medtner offered the explanation "Have I not been threatened by Life?" for the name of this turbulent, evasive piece. It is a wonderful, ambiguous and perplexing masterwork ; a departure from his previous sonatas, in both form and tonality. Medtner called it his ‘most contemporary composition’, explaining that it reflected ‘the threatening atmosphere of contemporary events’, though it was also probably as much affected by his own recent misfortunes. In one long movement, which exhaustively treats only a small amount of material, the work arguably shows Medtner at his most rigorously intellectual. In particular, the development section incorporates an elaborate fugal episode, and is remarkable as much for the range of tonalities through which it passes as for its rhythmic freedom. In a tailpiece to the coda, the composer ends the sonata in characteristic fashion with an outburst of defiant optimism. Marc-André Hamelin described it as "the most concentrated 15 minutes of music one could ever hope to play or listen to". It was dedicated to the Canadian pianist and pupil of Scriabin, Alfred La Liberté, one of Medtner's most loyal supporters. Performance reccomended : Tozer - 8:41:19
Sonata Idylle, Op. 56
The Sonata-Idyll in G major, Op. 56 of 1937, is Medtner's fourteenth and final piano sonata. Highly contrasting with his previous Sonata Minacciosa, a threatening, stormy and intense work, the character of the the Sonata Idylle is serene and bucolic from start to finish. Dismayed by the technical difficulty of so much of his music, which in effect precluded its sale to the majority of amateur pianists, the composer’s publisher had asked him to write some less demanding-and potentially more marketable-works. The first movement, a simple ternary form, is the most technically simple solo piano work Medtner ever wrote, yet easily one of his most beautiful. The second movement is a restless sonata-allegro with three themes. It is strangely touching to think of the exiled Russian composer working on this sonata, evoking an Arcadian world, in the incongruous surroundings of the bustling North London suburb of Golders Green. Scarred by the vicissitudes of a troubled life, dispirited by the triumph of the modernism in art he so much despised and the neglect of his own work, Medtner, despite everything, never ceased composing, the faithful servant of his muse, uncompromising in his artistic integrity. To the end he remained, as Glazunov described him, ‘the firm defender of the sacred laws of eternal art’. Performance reccomended : Tozer - 8:58:54
@SeigneurReefShark -- So many thanks for your enlightening, erudite Commentary.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
Слушаю очередной шедевр Метнера. Спасибо за альбом его произведений.
This is one of the greatest achievement of the score video community. Bravo !
There is a reality that comes through Medtner so different from others. It is a sense of nostalgia without affectation. Bless you for putting this fine collection together. I will be listening to it for a very long time.
Medtner is entirely underrated. I wonder what his contemporaries thought of his music. The weaving of the different melodic lines is akin to how Bach arranged the voices in his fugues.. Rachmaninoff's drama, I could go on. I wish I had known about Medtner decades ago. Thank you for this amazing post.
Not really underrated, underappreciated, yes, and sadly underperformed.
Rach thought Medtner was the best Russian composer of his time, so there's that.
A Month later and I'm still so grateful for this upload. The same old performances on youtube got a little stale, and these performances are all incredible. Thanks again, ReefShark
Maybe the greatest video on youtube ever!!!
Remarkable. You deserve thanks from everyone interested in piano music for making this video. Most have no interest in, or knowledge of, Medtner so I don't expect that to happen. However, I'm convinced that he is at least one of the greatest piano composers to have lived, a fact seems to be gaining ground at long last.
Wow. So good! This video contains most of the performances in my Medtner's sonata playlist. No longer have to choose from a playlist! If there were no copyright issues, we could hear more of beautiful performances such as Hamelin's.
I would like to express my gratitude that you have taken the effort to upload Medtner's Sonatas for Piano, as interpreted by various performers. The opportunity to enjoy and compare their differing interpretations is a boon. (I must say that I enjoyed your upload of Ponochevny's interpretation of the Op. 25 No. 2! Such clarity, such passion contained within it and yet - it is so difficult for performers to actually bring these qualities to full bloom.)
Merci Seigneur pour cette magnifique découverte .. La virtuosité incontestable de Medtner me touche particulièrement et jongle délicieusement avec la sensibilité des émotions de l'âme
You are doing god's work with all these Medtner uploads my friend!
This must have taken one whole day to upload! Thanks for uploading these!
8 hours ! Could have been faster if i didnt get a stupid copyright strike when i first tried to upload it. I hope this one will stay untouched...

This is a wonderful treasure trove. Thank you so much
could there be a more perfect video on youtube? i don’t think so.

Probably the greatest effort ever put into a scored video, amazing work on all the Medtner sonatas, and I'd like if you could do Protopopov's first sonata, thanks.

Метнер, к сожалению, забытый композитор. Но ведь его произведения прекрасны. Жаль, что именитыЕ пианисты предпочитают исполнять произведения только именитых композиторов. Было бы неплохо, если бы они знакомили нас и забытыми: Рамо, Борткевич, Момпту и другими.

titanic video of a a bunch of titanic pieces by a titanic composer
nice, never thought I'd live to see one like this
Yea this is just ludicrous. How any of this possible is beyond me
A great thing one can listen to these piece here, thanks. However, considering that I'm horrified by Scriabin and haven't ever listened through any of his pieces, if I say these sonatas don't really speak to me but I can listen through them (once, I guess), I hope it'll be taken as a kind of appreciation. But I enjoy his piano concertos a lot more, and that of others of the time or of a bit before as well. I guess life would be boring if everybody enjoyed the same - music, paintings, architecture or food...
Tolle Zusammenstellung!
Y con las partituras, que maravilla!
wow an epic video!
Medtner는 Rachmaninoff, Scriabin과 같이 언급되어야 할 위대한 작곡가다. 그의 음악은 심오하고 깊이가 있으며 난해함 속에 서정성과 구조적 아름다움을 갖췄다. 대부분 소나타의 연주는 Tozer의 연주가 음색이 깔끔하고 듣기 좋으나 Night Wind만큼은 Eckardstein의 연주가 명연주라고 할 수 있다. 그는 Night Wind의 모든 음을 명료하게 연주하며 강조해야 할 멜로디를 확실하게 표현하는 연주를 선보인다. 이 모든 음악을 유튜브에서 들을 수 있게 해주어서 매우 감사하다.
1:21:11 such a cool ending
How did it take you to make such a video and to what extent was your computer able to handle 9 hours of video? I can't upload 3 hours of video from the phone yet...

@@SeigneurReefShark what a sacrifice for whole big project! What programs are you using? I made 3 hours of videos one by one in total, but my phone couldn't afford to put them all together.

@@SeigneurReefShark Thanks for your feedback!
beutiful
Да, увы, вы правы, дорогие друзья - комментаторы: Метнер недооценён. Как и многие другие:Поуленк, Момпту (не знаю, как правильно пишется его фамилия по-русски). Это потому, что именитых музыканты предпочитают исполнять произведения именитых композиторов.
Thanks for this great compilation. I'm curious to know approximately the difficulty ranking of these sonatas. I haven't played any of them, but it seems clear that Op. 56 is the easiest, and Op. 25 No. 2 seems to be the hardest. But what falls in between? The three Op. 11 sonatas (my favorite) seem to be near the easier side. I would appreciate insight from anyone who has scanned them in detail or played them.
This is probably a hot take, but I think listening to these in order is more important towards understanding them than listening to Scriabin's sonatas in order.
Probably, but I admit that when discovering medtner, I started with the later ones, and the first sonatas after. But for Scriabin I don't remember, I listened to them in total disorder ahah
8:31:42
Liszt sonata in B minor
Geoffrey Tozer's recording for the Op. 27 feels very fluid and lyrical, stimulates the imagination but lacks a bit in composure and becomes "blurry" where you want to understand the notes clearly and appreciate the changes in rythm: i've preferred to listen to it initially to get a feel of the piece and understand it.
Hamish Milne's makes the notes and the structures very clear, it's in absolute control and he doesn't let a single part go to waste: not completely satisfactory, but it's a god-send for students and those who feel ready to put their fingers and time on the pianoforte to learn this beautiful Sonata.
If only a recording with the best qualities of both philosophies existed.
A question for the uploader if possible, from which edition was the score?
It's way more readable compared to the one i downloaded from Petrucci and used until now.
I reccomend you to buy the integral medtner sonatas from the editor Dover. I got it, and it's really good in my opinion.
@@SeigneurReefShark Will do thanks! Was really looking into it, a good edition to buy and study his Sonatas.
I'm very pleased to see this posted here, but I have a problem. Because one can't count on anything on RUclips lasting indefinitely, I use one of those utilities to save videos of serious interest to me to my own computer. If I want to come back to something, this also saves on download data, which I do have to keep an eye on.
My problem is that, when I downloaded this and played the file, throughout much of it, there are repeated short breaks in the sound every 10 seconds or so, and it completely spoils the music. This does not occur when I try playing the same passage direct from RUclips.
I do not in general have this problem, but I have noticed it once before with an extremely long download, say of 8 hours or more.
I don't want to waste my data trying to download it again, because I tried re-downloading previously, but the new file was exactly the same.
Do you (or anyone who reads this) have any idea what's going on, and how I can get round it and download this file without these glitches?
I would appreciate any guidance. I think Medtner is a wonderful composer, and I am very glad this is here, and I want to preserve my own copy of it if I can. Thank you.
I think I could try to send you a copy of the video by email. Just send an email at shadowreefshark@gmail.com and i'll see what I can do
9:02:39 - 9:02:55 sounds like something late Beethoven would write
Yeah, lots of references to Beethoven and Chopin as well are quite obvious, though Medtner always finds a way to make it his own very unique composition.
