The first song is the „Lied“-Movement from Korngolds Suite for Left Hand Piano, 2 Violins and Cello. I didn’t know about that song, but thought while listening to the Suite that it would make a gorgeous Aria in an Opera. 😍RU-vid made it possible for me to discover that it already existed as a song. It shows that everyday you can learn new things and make exciting discoveries!😊
Amazing music. Have you looked at the Performing artists in this ?!?!?!!!! If they have come together to perform this then you Know this Heavy Duty. This takes a couple listening to get everything. Outstanding. Personal note... I saw K Opera Die Tote Start in NYC the Metropolitan Opera. Very close seats. At the end I must have Holy Shit ! about 100 times !
Suberb medtneresque sonata written with great form and harmonic understation. Those melodies, rythms and the harmony in this piece are one of the most moving things i have ever heard.
I have thought this since I first heard this sonata and haven’t seen any references to this anywhere else! Also, the two pieces were written only a few years apart! Medtner (1937) Over the Rainbow (1939)
@@snappercwal Yeah, it is quite interesting. While they're by no means identical, it's amazing how similar they are, and the close proximity of their time of composition makes there matter even more intriguing. I'm glad there is someone else who has noticed this!
I've had such a hard time finding recordings of Medtner's vocal works done on good equipment, even at slightly lower interpretive quality. Thanks so much for this.
this was the first medtner sonata i really got into. after listening to a large portion of medtner's works, listening to this again really feels quite something.
That was my conclusion as well at first, but after a few more listens, I'm starting to understand the genius of it, and how integral it is to the progression of the piece.
I’m sorry, but I think the development starts at 5:00, as the T1,2 and other themes have a new feature in this section. In addition, Medtner marks this episode with double bar line. And the coda starts at 15:38, because, I think, it uses a mirror recapitulation and the main theme appears at the end.
So, do anybody thinked about the approximate citing the Sonata Skazka in the Sonata Idyll (Sonata Skazka, Part III, measures 14-15 & Sonata Idyll, Part II, measures 156, 161)?
Unfortunately, I cut the pdf up into images before annotating it, so all I have is a bunch of .pngs. drive.google.com/drive/folders/18TaLJ3Nqku-0fHuBCvvlVQnijQwfdthE?usp=sharing
Bless you for your analyses of this music. I'm studying harmony at the moment in hopes to understand music like this better. Without videos like this id have almost no idea of what is going on in this music.
