- Anton Rubinstein (1829 - 1894), 2 Melodies, Op. 3 (1852)
Performed by Balazs Szokolay and Joseph Banowetz respectively
00:00 - No. 1 Melody in F major
04:00 - No. 2 Melody in B major
Rubinstein was 23 years old when he composed two Melodies Op.3. The work was undoubtedly Rubinstein's most well-known compositions, and while it may be easy to dismiss these salon pieces as mere pot-boilers, they contain many of the musical qualities that define Rubinstein at his best. The once-famous Melody in F is beautifully laid out for the keyboard, as the two thumbs play a simple melody inside the downbeat-offbeat pattern of the outer voices. A short chromatic transition passage leads to the return of the opening melody and a short, attractive coda. The Melody in B major provides a delicate contrast to its more famous companion. Here once again an elegant, long-breathed line is placed in the middle of the keyboard, surrounded by the gently pulsating outer voices.
Exquisite pianism right there.
A small pearl expressed in music...
we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when....
I can't ever listen to this the same again now.
Oh no, neither can I! Always thought that was a great song 😉
Creepy fact: the time difference between us listening to that 1940s song is about the same difference between that and Rubinstein writing this piano piece.
Are those lyrics for the first piece?
EDIT: Oh yes it is lol.
These could easily fit within a Mendelssohn Songs Without Words set.
As concept, maybe, 'cause the language is rather different.
I wouldn't say it's Mendelssohn though. The first one reminds me of Schumann and the second one Liszt/Alkan.
Schumann? Sounds a lot more like Mendelssohn to me. Probably the Spring Song.@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji

One really can’t appreciate this song until one hears Barney Fife sing it.
simplesmente uma obra prima. diria que pode ser considerado a billie eilish de seu tempo.
Art Tatum did a version of this piece.
good ol' 14a
Oh god! They go on forever.
May be melody №2 in H-Dur (Major)?
yes. B major. H in German.
At 4:32, why is the chromatically descending bottom line of the right hand omitted?
Possibly the pianist has tiny hands?
Andrei Cristian Anghel but surely the left hand could compensate?
@@Stitch87654 Yeah good point, that could easily be taken with the left hand. Dunno then :/
Andrei Cristian Anghel maybe an alternative version? Or a printing mistake in the pianists edition hahaha
alberlos fair enough.
This is a challenging one to read along.
Dr. Strangelove meets Anton Rubinstein !
Wish i knew how to make the melody line ring so strong - my thumbs just dont want to obey .smh
Give a check on fundamentals of the russian piano school, the weight transfer to the thumb is probably the "secret" of this playing
I hate my thumbs! :-)
If you're talking about the first, you might consider using both hands for each chord, thus freeing a single finger, or two at the most to bring out the melodic top note. :-)
Музыка уносит куда-то, в прекрасное нечто!
Эта музыка звучит в финальных титрах фильма “ Le Trou “, но вот почему она там звучит, как объяснить ее появление в конце столь сложного фильма..?
Я не знаю

Is the first piece a piano duet?
No its one piano and the melody switches between hands
19세기 4대 피아니스트 쇼팽, 리스트, 알캉 그리고 루빈슈타인. 리스트가 한수접고 들어간 분이 바로 루빈슈타인. 즉흥연주의 신.
리스트가 한수 접다니...말이안되는데 ㅋㅋㅋ
리스트는 그 시대때 피아노의왕 이라고 불렸고...거의 연예인이었는데...아이돌시초였고..
Estoy a qui por que me dio curiosidad por que escuché esta melodía en un anime :v
ㅠㅠb
While pretty, the f major melodie to me is basic sounding and a little boring..
I agree, too many repetition with no variations over the main theme. It's kinda boring. But it is nice, could be developed more though.
I'd like to critique one of your compositions, please! Please make sure it's not boring ...
Whoa, you both COrNotToC and David Trainer take everything too seriously, don’t you? May be just true is Opus 3 and yes, is a lovely piece, but is not a masterpiece or perfect and is not exonerated of possible criticism.
listen to cherkassky
You in a hurry man? What are you running away from?
