This is simply one of the greatest violin/piano sonatas of all time and it's a real shame that it's so relatively unknown

[@JoshuaPluta]

6:01 to 6:32 is one of the most beautiful passages I have ever heard in any music. I just discovered this piece a few days ago and it’s already one of my favorite pieces. Medtner is astonishingly unknown for how amazing and complex and fun and deep and beautiful his music is.

[@SCRIABINIST]

I firmly believe this is one of Medtner's finest outputs and certainly among the best in the Sonata genre as a whole. Every moment is perfectly written and expressed.

my fav medtner violin sonata!!!!

[@musicboiscores]

Basically if a Medtner Skazka is v e r y l a r g e so epic.....

[@teodorb.p.composer]

It's trully epic! One of the best pieces ever! Medtner was underrated genius and this is one of his biggest masterpiece, it's treasure between violin sonatas.

41:15 Best bridge and dreaming episode I had ever listened before!

[@FueganTV]

0:15 The voicing on that C chord though! Three Es. Such a vast, atmospheric sound.

34:48 haha licc overload (jokes aside this bit is so beautiful though...) 36:42 more licc real 43:00 r e a l

[@ConcordMass]

🤣somehow i didnt notice all of that even though ive listened to this a dozen times!

[@tarikeld11]

What I find interesting about Medtner is how baroque he sometimes gets, like 35:02

[@musicboiscores]

I suppose Medtner really liked rigorous polyphonic stuff, but he also sometimes goes full impressionism like in the first movement in 8:07... this won't sound out of place in Ravel's La vallée des cloches from Miroirs.

[@kumo-kun1831]

Somebody help me from the addiction of the 2nd movement… 😢 fuckin good

[@othmanmajid6380]

Goes well with Marc Chagall and Blue Horses.....a perfect combo for me and most things Chagall......farewell dear friend of a friend, this is the only way for me to pay respect, R.I.P

No, I also don't think anyone has made one yet for this piece.
