Shchedrin - Piano Concerto No.1 (I-II)

[@kniazigor2276]

Délicieux rappel d' "Au clair de la lune" dans le deuxième mouvement de ce très beau concerto. Merci Fyrexianoff !!!!

[@Flexyhandz]

So what the hell happened with the second and third concerti? He pulled a Scriabin.

BRUTAL trombone line at 6:35. That countermelody has to be heard above the full (fortissimo) orchestra...!

[@PeterLunowPL]

The toccata is delightful!

[@geminian7846]

Perhaps it just sounds like Shchedrin?

[@ilyasozurakov2393]

It sounds like Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff

[@ilyasozurakov2393]

Концерт на все времена))))

[@chystokletov]

Technically it is not as hard as it looks, for instance the first mov is often perform by 3rd, 4th grade students at Russian secondary music schools. second mov is a little tricky though.

[@pietrolandri6081]

The Toccata is a true masterpiece, whereas the first movement is sort of hybrid style with several "easy to listen" effects. Will listen the final score before judging the whole concerto.

[@titusbeertsen]

Very big tunes, almost Rachmaninov-like.

[@AndyAand]

Last movement was interesting. Nothing before that.

[@thekoujimati31]

I do not think is quite similar to Rachmaninoff. Generally close to Prokofiev. However, the characteristics of his music of Russian nationalism has already appeared.

[@titusbeertsen]

It does have some Prokofiev concerto patterns, but don't you think that it sounds too tonal for prokofiev?

[@kyleclef]

Some of the techniques are exactly the same as the prokofiev 3rd concerto, and there are elements of the other two concertos in...I don't hear any Rachmaninoff.

[@MartynaKulakowska]

interesting!

[@UrbanStanic]

It has elements of both but I think it does sound more like Rachmaninoff. For example, at 7:46 a Prokofiev-like passage is thrown in, but the movement ends very much like Rachmaninoff's 3rd concerto. Overall, though, it is quite tonal and 'big' like Rachmaninoff. Anyhow, who actually plays this concerto? Because it seems to me harder than even Prokofiev or Rachmaninoff.

Hi, I’ve been looking for around half an hour for a couple of pieces I remember hearing on your channel but absolutely can’t remember who composed them or what they were called, and I’d really appreciate if you could maybe help me. The first is a pretty short solo piano etude or something of the sort, and if I remember correctly has a lot of changing time signatures, maybe even a time change every bar (short ones like ⅛, 2/8, etc. maybe it was in some pattern?) and it also had some symmetry, maybe between the parts of the two hands. The other piece is a piano sonatina or sonata that has very modern thematic material but actually uses sonata form. I think this piece might’ve been from the 70s. I also remember the writing being not very dense and a bit Shostakovich-y at times. The composer was a 20th century Russian composer, his first name was Boris maybe? Thanks a lot in advance if you can help me!

[@fyrexianoff]

Hi, i am not really sure about the first one you described, but the second one reminds me of Boris Tishchenko's piano sonata no.2 perhaps?

[@lylecohen1638]

@@fyrexianoff I checked and I don’t think that was the piece I was thinking about, though it’s definitely a wonderful piece too and fits my criteria!

[@fyrexianoff]

@@lylecohen1638 another shost-like composer perhaps would be nikolai peiko? Have you heard these pieces like years ago, or just recently?

[@lylecohen1638]

@@fyrexianoff it’s not him either unfortunately (love his second sonata though!). I listened to the pieces a few months ago, around December if I recall correctly, but I think I remember them well enough to distinguish them still

[@fyrexianoff]

@@lylecohen1638 How about Boris Tchaikovsky :P, if you heard it in december, then it is all the uploads from five years ago and going back. hmmm

Who sits at the piano?
