Sergei Bortkiewicz - 3 Pieces op. 12 (Somero)

[@carlkulzer5982]

As an old man of 87 I am so glad I finally discovered his beautiful music. Thank you for making this available.

Beautiful pieces ad what a fabulous interpretation of the Polonaise!! Bravo! Listening to these reminds me of Bortkiewicz/s own words - he was a Romantic melodist and not a modern composer. bWe can all be supremely grateful for that! Bortkiewicz is like Chopin in that he is enjoyed by the pianist, listener and other composers.

I would definitely put this on my list of things I'd play if I could. Thank you for the upload and composer biography

Thanks a lot for the upload. Can't get enough of Bortkiewicz.

This set of pieces seems heavily influenced by Chopin! Number 3 bears a striking resemblance to Chopin's Op. 44 Polonaise!

And the B section of chopin's scherzo no4!

[@jeanmariemelot]

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.

A part, before A maj section, is close to central section of Chopin's last scherzo...

[@Putsmeiser]

Excuse me where did you find the sheet for this? The version on IMSLP is in worse quality sadly

[@polishscores]

I found it on IMSLP, but I always clean up the frames while making the videos as much as I can. So, unfortunately, what you see on IMSLP is probably the best you can find.

La polacca un po' troppo simile a quella op 44 di chopin
