The very beginning of the second movement sounds almost identical to the 18th variation from Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody in a theme of Paganini, just in a different key
Medtner's melody pre-dates the Paginini. While you can invert the Paganini to come up with this melody, Medtner was Rachmaninoff's favorite composer. There is no way he didn't see the similarity, and I imagine was delighted to include it as a nod to his favorite composer.
My second-favorite Medtner sonata, after its opus partner, the behemoth Night Wind. Definitely not my favorite Tozer interpretation, though. Feels perfunctory, like he just wants to get it over with, as if he doesn't take the work seriously because it's on the shorter and easier end for Medtner. A lot of very crass moments in the first movement, too. Very atypical performance from him.
Does anybody know, how his Romantica Sonata quotes this one? I have heard that the Romantica's last movement quotes some melody from this sonata, but where exactly?
pourquoi est-ce que Pollini et Argerich n'ont jamais joué Medtner? Evgeny Kissin et Vladimir Ashkenazy auraient pu faire une intégrale des 14 sonates haut la main!
Velmi hluboce propracované hudební dílo s mnoha zajímavými detaily. 👍
My new favourite Medtner Sonata, the repeated rhythms and the sparkles in that 2nd movement are so eargasmic!
Alexander Malofeev plays Medtner often as an encore. Great composer Medtner was. Thank you for posting.🌷🌷
I. Allegro abbandonamente : 00:05
II. Andantino con moto : 04:56
III. Allegro con spirito : 08:19
Very beautiful one... Soo peaceful and chilling
Yes, like a magical tale and journey
Fantastic sonata.Great Tozer's performance!
Thanks for posting.
The second mvt is one of my favorites from Medtner
4:56 I thought he's going to play Chopin's Nocturne in Eb major xD

I was rather reminded of Schumann somehow. Maybe his first sonata in f sharp minor..

The motif of 1 mvt. is the reference to Op.54 No.2🤔
The reverse
Is this Bb major or Bb minor
