    Arthur lourié, who was born in St. Petersburg and who died in Princeton, USA, was one of the Russian avant-gardists of the 1920s. Lourié was appointed "peoples commissar for music" in revolutionary Russia, went to Berlin in 1922 and then to Paris where he lived for 15 years. Emanating from Scriabin, between 1913 and 1917 committed to increasingly futuristic ideals towards atonality, he was strongly influenced by Stravinsky's style of composition at that time during the years he spent in Paris.
    Despite his cooperative efforts, Lourié seems to have been generally not much liked, his music inexplicably overlooked during the entire quarter century he spent in the USA. Yet while the sharppenned Slonimsky notes somewhat sourly that Lourié, 'a philosopher by inclination, if not by academic training... had published some modernistic piano pieces in the early days of the Revolution', Vera Stravinsky is of the more generous opinion that Lourié's influence on Stravinsky in the mid 1920s was sufficiently far-reaching to merit 'a book in itself.'Stravinsky himself nonetheless took care effectively to supress all evidence of his one-time friend's personality.

    I love how in all these preludes he tries to erase a sense of time (signature) so that it almost sounds "free-floating".

      Has nothing to do with what I was trying to say, and thank you I'm well aware of the mysteries of music. Arthur Louries' music was not appreciated in his day, and most major pianists and concert halls play free public domain music and stick with only popular composers, a fate Nikolai Medtner had suffered as well; Peoples ignorance and sheep like tendencies.

    This music is beautiful indeed, and so is the interpretation. Without offending people in any way, nor insulting them in any way, it is normal to deplore that these works are so little known. It's a sad reality because the world eats every day sound shit of all kinds, indiscriminate (because without culture), made by "artists" without any talent. Bravo in any case to this pianist, and eternal glory to Russian Music.

    So "fragile," if you even breathe, they disappear.... much like Arthur Lourie's musical identity, sadly. They would certainly be very nice for scattering among deeper pieces during a program... or maybe for encore after something heavy.
