Нужно доказать, что Дунаевский был знаком с этим опусом. Это малоизвестное произведение. Элементы сходства безусловно есть, но такое часто бывает. Идеи витают в воздухе.
This music was very popular in USSR as it was stolen by russian musician Dunayevsky and was put in a movie. Just discovered it was the masterpiece of Witold Maliszevski
A curiosity and not a masterpiece, interesting only as a portent of the Bruckner who would later emerge. It has its moments, but it is in no way pianistic. It's far too difficult for its limited range of expression.
Indeed, Polonaise has some affinity with Fa# min from Frederic Chopin. However, it's quite a personnal work from Bortkiewicz. Moreover, because of its well typical rythm, a polonaise has sometimes a lack of originality. And Bortkiewicz gave us very good melodies.
It sounds like his own musical personality is very much in there as an undercurrent. But held back by some form of expectations of how music should go, learned from people that came before him. It's obvious that he was still in the process of learning to compose properly and finding his own voice.
Pretty crazy when you compare Rachmaninoff's early piano sketches like his nocturnes. Still undeniably Rachmaninoff. This one has some Bruckner stuff like the repeated ostinato notes that add a little drama (probably would have been high violins in an orchestral work). Regardless, Bruckner's orchestral works are truly one of a kind
@@HotRatsAndTheStooges In Bruckner's case I think that has a lot to do with his upbringing. His creativity was basically stiffled by the circumstances he lived in. A country boy/man that was deliberatly kept away from modern musical influences and who would have amounted to nothing than a village teacher, who dabbled a bit in music at the side had he not went to see "Tannhäuser". I find it so fascinating how he took the time to start his life completely new, learn all composition techniques properly and then let the music that was held back within him pour out like a force of nature. But he was certainly not right in the head. His OCD, his totally repressed sexuality, couldn't have been good for him. I'm not in the least bit surprised that he almost ended up institutionalized forever in the late 1860''s.
Wow, this was very rough. Very little to enjoy tbh. The playing was a bit weird too. You can definitely see the beethoven and bach influence here though. But I think it's safe to say Bruckner's forte was orchestral music
Only have time to listen to the first 4 minutes or so but I'm in love with this composition! I love how direct and triumphant the opening of the piece is, and I also love the sharp jabs that both the Piano and the Strings deliver at various moments. The first couple of minutes are just incredibly dramatic and I immediately felt hooked by this piece, like I just have to wait and see what comes next! There's also just some stunning harmony in the first couple of minutes already, I can't wait to come back and listen to the rest of this concerto later! Thank you for sharing this composition and for talking about the Composer and his story, I'd never heard of him before today, but he seems like a remarkable person and I'm excited to learn more about him and his work. Thanks again for sharing!
Un tel iconoclasme, une telle grandeur dans ce concerto, un tel improbable paysage cosmique plein de ténèbres, de lumière, de transparences, d’émerveillement et surtout de mystère, avec des déflagrations qui vous plongent dans une transe suivie de changements soudains qui vous réveillent, les yeux écarquillés et les sourcils frissonnants. J'écoute cela de temps en temps depuis des lustres et j'entends encore de nouvelles subtilités 🔥
Much like late Richard Strauss and Scriabin. Aiming at his own true style but not quite there yet. Still a strong symphony and most enjoyable. The strings have such beautiful swirls and contours. Dramatic crescendos and decrescendo. Im glad we all have this.
