  • Ignacy Jan Paderewski (18 November [O.S. 6 November] 1860 - 29 June 1941) was a Polish pianist and composer, politician, statesman and spokesman for Polish independence. He was a favorite of concert audiences around the world. His musical fame opened access to diplomacy and the media.
    Piano Concerto, Op. 17 (1888)
    Dedicated to Theodor Leschetizky
    I. Allegro
    II. Romanza. Andante (16:16)
    III. Allegro molto vivace (25:34)
    Janina Fialkowska, piano and the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antoni Wit
    (Naxos 8.554020)
    The first part of the work - an allegro - had already been written back in 1882, and was thus written by the artist when he was in his twenties. Paderewski performed the piece a year later at one of the meetings of the Warsaw Music Society. The rest of the composition was written over the course of the next few years. A part of the piece was for instance written in 1884 in Zakopane, Kraków and Vienna, where Paderewski studied piano under the direction of Teodor Leszetycki, a famous professor to whom the concerto is dedicated. The piece was finally finished in the summer of 1888 in Paris. The first performance took place on 20th January, 1889 in Vienna in the interpretation of Anetta Jessipowa, Leszetycki’s wife, accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Hans Richter. A few weeks later, on 8th April 1889, the A minor concerto was played for the first time in Warsaw.

      Good comparison. Grieg's is one of the few piano concertos by a "second tier" composer that still is regularly programmed by major Symphony Orchestras.

    @e.hutchence-composer8203 4 года назад +29

    Sometimes the obscure, under performed piano concertos are more enjoyable than the world famous ones. Work like Rchmaninoff’s 1st Concerto, Saint-Seans’ 5th Piano Concerto, Scriabin’s Concerto and this Paderewski Concerto are just a few which are unfortunate enough to be placed in the shadow of monumental pieces like Beethoven’s 5th Concerto, Rachmaninoff’s 2nd and 3rd Concertos, Tchaikovsky’s 1st, Grieg’s Concerto and both of Chopin’s. Each work is enjoyable in it’s own right and performers should exercise a balanced repertoire of well known and unknown concertos. Music should be an appreciation of art and the composer’s/performer’s achievements and hard work, not which piece is going attract a larger audience.

    32:21 I always love it when a composer incorporates an idea from the opening movement of a work . Other grate examples would be Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony, Beethoven’s 9th and Elgar’s Cello Concerto. It’s like a little musical easter egg which ties the while work together.

To me it stands comparison with the Grieg and Tchaikovsky concerti and is much more enjoyable than the Liszt yet we can hear them anytime we like.

    • @SherwinGooch
      @SherwinGooch 3 года назад +1

      Paderewski reportedly recorded some piano pieces using an early form of recording player piano in which the keys pushed vertical carbon rods down into dashpots of mercury beneath the keys, thus changing the resistance depending on the length of the carbon rod remaining extended above the surface of the mercury. An electric arc was produced from the signal which burned a wider strip from the piano roll depending on how far each key was depressed. I do not believe the piano part of the concerto was recorded, but I would still like to hear the pieces Paderewski's did record in this manner re-created with current technology.

      É... Tanto aqui na América latina quanto na Europa a coisa está feia. Pelo velho continente ainda há uma velha guarda que consegue repassar, em alguma medida, suas jóias a juventude. Ainda assim a perspectiva para a posteridade não é otimista, visto a cada vez mais baixa qualidade da cultura mainstream que a tudo parece engolir. O que cabe a nós, no entanto, não é a exasperação, mas cuidar dessas preciosidades e repassa-las adiante a quem tiver ouvidos para escutar. Aliás, talvez esse sentimento negativo seja injustificado se baseado na ilusão de que a coisa foi melhor em outros tempos. Pois vejam, Paderewski não viveu duas grandes guerras? Assim como Rachmaninoff e Ravel, por exemplo. E nós, por acaso vivemos guerra alguma? Como poderiamos reclamar? Para fazer o que nos cabe fazer, nunca houve tempo melhor. Avante, hermanos!
