Hello ! New upload after a long period of inactivity: the great Toccata by Nenov. I want to apologize for the terrible quality of the score.

[@steveegallo3384]

NEVER Apologize.....NEVER Explain.....Instead....BRAVO to you....Blessings from Acapulco!

06:08 is frickin awesome!

[@atretochoana8332]

god dammit I love solo piano music that sounds like a whole orchestra

[@Samuel-kc1pg]

I love this, there's something very special about this piece that I never heard before. Nenov and Bartók somewhat had the same goal of mixing Eastern European folk music with the classical tradition but they achieved it in such different ways

[@Samuel-kc1pg]

I can't stop replaying, it's too good it's going in the learning in 15 years list 😭

Esplêndida peça. Magnífica performance. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!

Now this is a proper Toccata!

[@mikeweaver8790]

This is incredible. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[@seanfogarty5559]

This is one of those pieces that's so exceptional I can believe it hasn't entered the wider pool of common piano repertoire. Terrific writing for the instrument, interesting structure, catchy tunes, and most of all - it really doesn't sound like anything else (barring the fact that you can hear some potential Bartok and Prokofiev influences). Ugh, it's so good. The orchestra version is equally good - loses the violence of the piano version but gains quite a bit of scope.

[@supasayajinsongoku4464]

You should listen to vladgeriovs toccata as well which also has an orchestral version coincedentally

[@VasilBelezhkov]

well... unfortunately we, people from Bulgaria, are not famous enough abroad (like other composers from western countries)...

Such an upbeat piece

@@SeigneurReefShark This guy copypastes the same comments in every classical music video he finds just to get subscribers. Just look at his comment, isn't it the most generic comment you've ever had in your channel?

Doctor Nenov

[@nikol4y.l]

Obviously a Balkan take on the Prokofiev toccata. This comfortably supersedes it. Nenov's best work IMO until someone can recommend me something better.

[@brynbstn]

What year was this written? Seems inspired by Prokofiev’s Toccata (1911)

[@SeigneurReefShark]

I think it was written in 1939

[@emmanuelsales149]

Yes, there are a lot of quotes of Prokoviev

[@malenasheytanova9967]

@@emmanuelsales149 Many find resemblances, mostly because of the genere and the kind of usage of the instrument that's typical for the early 20th century. What this piece is actually influenced by, is Bulgarian folclore traditions in terms of rythm and modes, although this is purely original music, and not based on folclore themes. It's actual inspiration roots within ancient pagan traditions and rituals. I know very well both this Toccata and the Prokofiev's one, both very much favourite pieces, and as much different. "Resemblances" are as much as Beethoven 1 resembles Mozart 21.

[@malenasheytanova9967]

@@emmanuelsales149 + the year of creation is unclear, since he's been playing it by heart for many years, without giving it any effort to write down the scores. 1939 is the year it's been written in scores and published, not the year it was actually created. There's no clear evidence when exactly it was created, since the artefacts about Nenov are very scarce, people are trying to research on the matter, there are scientific projects open currently. Nenov's an actual genious, and one of the brightest talents of his time. The only reason he's not know at all to global audience, unlike his russian contemporaries, is that he was bulgarian.

Molto ingegnoso ma priva di qualsiasi idea minimamente cantabile, sognante o contenente qualsiasi tipo di incipit che possa condurre alla bellezza.

[@AsrielKujo]

mah, comprendo cosa dici ma comunque alla fine è soltanto una toccata, quindi onestamente non ci devono essere tutti gli elementi musicali che magari cercheresti in una sonata per esempio

[@parcivalg.5659]

@@AsrielKujo difatti io non ho detto che debbano esserci chissà quali elementi, ma qualsiasi elemento che riconduca alla bellezza. Anche nelle toccate è così, non si tratta di un discorso di forma, non starò a fare l'elenco delle toccate, vi è una letteratura vastissima. Ciò che non presenta neanche un incipit degno di interesse è per me privo di bellezza.

[@AsrielKujo]

@@parcivalg.5659 quello lo posso capire, anche se trovo alcune parti di questo pezzo molto melodici, però hai completamente ragione

[@vasil.kamdzhalov]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znimo6SXpcZlh5I&ab_channel=GENESISORCHESTRA This is an orchestra version made by his student. Hopefully you will enjoy it more. But if the source is lacking in the beauty I'm not sure, at least for the experiment to see how its like.
