Alexander Griboedov - Waltz in e minor

Griboedov unfortunately only got 34 years old. He lived from 1795 to 1829, at the time of Beethoven. Typical for great people of that time, he was not only a composer but also a Russian diplomat, playwright and poet. I already played this piece long time ago, but at a rather strange speed and I felt like this is a good time to play it again, with a more adequate waltz feeling.
He was Russia's ambassador to Qajar Persia, where he and all the embassy staff were massacred by an angry mob as a result of the rampant anti-Russian sentiment that existed through Russia's imposing of the Treaty of Gulistan (1813) and Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828), which had forcefully ratified for Persia's ceding of its northern territories comprising Transcaucasia and parts of the North Caucasus. Griboyedov had played a pivotal role in the ratification of the latter treaty.

What a beautiful pearl! Griboedov was a very talented person. Not only he composed music (however not many pieces survivded to our days) but also he wrote one of the most popular and significant piece of 19th century (the golden era) Russian literature "Woe from Wit" which is a comedy that satirizises Russia's nobelty of the 19th century. Also he had made a brilliant diplomat carrier while working as an ambassador in Qajar Persia (which sadly was his place of death - an angry mob massacred Griboedov and many others in the embassy). We should be greatful and happy that this diverse and monumental person brought us such wonderful pieces of art!

Have you read the book "The death of the Vazir - Mukhtar"?

[@nss4472]

Справедливости ради, персы, одумавшись, подарили императору огромный алмаз "Шах", дабы загладить свой громкий политический провал. Жаль, загубленную молодую жизнь вернуть невозможно.

Griboedov was ahead of time .... Unfortunately big loss ...... All what I heard is stunning .....

The first time I listened to this gem was like 6 years ago. Listening to it now brings great memories

[@baronmeduse]

Perfect miniature. Interesting fellow too. I suppose when you're busy being a diplomat, playwright and poet you don't have much time for writing long-winded Wagnerian-style operas.

[@user-begNota]

Fantastic Waltz🎹🎵

[@KB_piano]

This is a good tempo. I think a lot of performers, and composers forget that you're supposed to be actually able to dance to a waltz...

Griboedov had one waltz more, also, in As-dur. :-)))

It's interesting: the Alexander Griboedov's valet was his paternal brother - the son of Griboedov's father and one of his serf women. The valet's name was Alexander Gribov, and he also was killed during the defeat of the Russian embassy in Tehran.
