Like Rachmaninoff's compositions, Medtner's works are melodious and cleverly structured. From the Hyperion website:<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #2c060c; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px;">What was the genesis of Medtner’s style? He considered himself a follower of Beethoven and the best of his work reflects the great polyphonic skill, the detailed development of short compact motifs, and the severe spirit and concentrated depth of the late Beethoven sonatas. No less important for Medtner was German Romanticism in general and Schumann’s legacy in particular. </span></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The op. 38 cycle begins with Medtner's most popular sonata, the Sonata Reminiscenza. It is followed by seven short pieces which borrow from the haunting melody of the sonata, ending with a powerful reprise of the main theme of the sonata.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (played by Filipp)</b></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><br /></b></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3UCt2PU4usps0y1PXRS9wToi6ocnS1l3WbFIuxjUwwEik1B7ntXjlAsRh3bmhQtpKjdAGjPDmi_gwRjnt07ajzQH4unu33i1Nw83zQhVN4tdNfZrkr_VlI_3smVYr_HF2_rus5GH-mkOy8tj5HZp3ecwQrChql2dpzAjAXTZ_yF51ARlERECz2DoQw/s1413/mussorgsky-1881.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1413" data-original-width="1080" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3UCt2PU4usps0y1PXRS9wToi6ocnS1l3WbFIuxjUwwEik1B7ntXjlAsRh3bmhQtpKjdAGjPDmi_gwRjnt07ajzQH4unu33i1Nw83zQhVN4tdNfZrkr_VlI_3smVYr_HF2_rus5GH-mkOy8tj5HZp3ecwQrChql2dpzAjAXTZ_yF51ARlERECz2DoQw/w311-h406/mussorgsky-1881.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><br /></b></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition</b> is a timeless classic comprising a cycle of ten 'portraits' inspired by an art exhibition, interwoven with a recurring Promenade theme.<br /> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Filipp Opanasenko and Vladislav Chubenko </b>are two graduates of Moscow Conservatory and recent emigrees from Russia. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Filipp has played four concerts this year at Eelswamp including all-Bach, Chopin and Beethoven programs.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Vlad has just arrived.

In Thailand we don’t have a regular, full time string quartet, so the opportunity to hear a quartet is rare and much of the repertoire has never been performed here. This series hopes to remedy the neglect of the string quartet. It will begin with a survey of early works of some of the most important composers for string quartet: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The early quartets of Mozart, Schubert and Mendelssohn are all the work of childhood geniuses. They will astound you with their sophistication and maturity. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Haydn is regarded as the granddaddy of the string quartet. He did not invent the form but he brought it to prominence. His output of 68 quartets established the quartet as the most important form in chamber music. His quartets are all ingenious, charming, and at times dramatic. Unlike his successors, he didn’t write his first quartet until he was 30. We will begin with a selection from op. 20, which Haydn wrote in 1772, at the age of 40 and opus 33, written nine years later. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mozart’s early quartets were inspired after hearing Haydn’s quartets. As a teenager, Mozart produced two sets of six quartets, The Milanese Quartets and the Viennese Quartets all of which are brilliant. We will hear two of the latter set, which Mozart wrote in 1773, at the age of seventeen; the first K168 will be performed in the first program.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Other concerts in this series will be on Monday June 14th and Monday July 19th.</span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Reservations:</b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">1,000 baht </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Tickets: </b>No tickets will be issued for concerts.

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">American pianist Bennett Lerner (b. 1944) is well-known in
his country as a performer of contemporary music. He has performed with major orchestras in the
USA, such as the New York Philharmonic (in a nationally-televised concert
celebrating composer Aaron Copland’s 85th<sup> </sup>birthday), the Los Angeles
Philharmonic, and the Cleveland Symphony.
Mr. Lerner has numerous recordings: <i>American Piano Music, Vols. 1 and
2</i> (Etcetera, 1984, 1986), <i>Piano Music of Alexander Tcherepnin</i>
(Etcetera, 1985), <i>Exposition Paris 1937</i> (Etcetera, 1988), <i>Music by My
Friends</i> (Albany, 2004), and <i>The Complete Piano Music of Claude Debussy,
Vols. 1-4</i>, (Bridge, 2006-7). He has
lived in Thailand since 1990 and was Head of the Piano Department of the
Chintakarn Music School in Bangkok. In
1995, Mr. Lerner moved to the northern city of Chiang Mai to teach at Payap
University, where he is now an Honorary Professor. After a six-year hiatus from performing, he
celebrated his 72<sup>nd</sup> birthday with gala concerts in Chiang Mai and,
also, with the premiere of “Luminary”, a piano concerto written in honor of Mr.
Lerner’s birthday by his student, Narong Prangcharoen, performed by another of
his students, Christopher Janwong McKiggan, with the Thailand Philharmonic
Orchestra. Mr. Lerner has participated
in the Thailand International Composition Festival since the festival’s inception in 2005. In March of 2018, Mr. Lerner played Gershwin’s
“Rhapsody in Blue” with the Thailand Philharmonic. Mr. Lerner’s formative teachers were the
Chilean virtuoso Claudio Arrau, Arrau’s associate and compatriot Rafael de

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Comprising opuses 3, 25 and 40, the mazurkas trace the development of Scriabin from a Chopin acolyte to a composer with a unique language. The early mazurkas are easy listening, but far more original and inventive than merely regurgitated Chopin. Gradually we hear Scriabin's style develop until, by opus 40, Scriabin has shed the Chopin cocoon entirely and emerges metamorphasized.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is grandest of the Beethoven's 32 Sonatas. Completed in 1818, it stretched the boundaries of the sonata form with four movements in classical form but on a monumental scale. The first known public performance was after Beethoven's death, by the 25 year-old Liszt, perhaps because the sonatas was generally regarded as so technically demanding as to be unplayable. I saw Andrey give a superb performance of the Hammerklavier at the Beethoven Competition in Vienna, 2013. It was so impressive that I invited him to come and visit us. I look forward to hearing Andrey's rendition of the Hammerklavier again, after seven years.</span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Written in 1874, Pictures</span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> has a genius structure which makes the work unique in the piano repertoire.

The Symphony no. 9 in C Major, "The Great", with its triumphal opening march theme, was sketched out during this period. The A minor sonata contains some of the mood of the symphony albeit in the darker, relative minor key. It has a march theme in the first movement, sometimes triumphal, sometimes mysterious and ending on a dark, A minor, crescendo. Even the charming slow movement is infused with drama. </span><br />

The Dante Sonata-Fantasy in 1849 and the B Minor Sonata in 1853. These one-movement works revolutionized the piano sonata. But Liszt's vision wasn't taken up until fifty years later, notably by Scriabin, whose fifth to tenth sonatas were all one movement. Although regarded with scorn at the time of publication, the Sonata in B minor is now recognized as one of the great works of genius of the nineteenth century and one of Liszt's greatest achievements.</span></div>

The sonata has many of the same rhythms and textures as the concerto, so if you like the concerto you will certainly appreciate the sonata. </span><br />

His sonata in E flat minor is reminiscent of Scriabin. It sits somewhere between Scriabin's third (bass line dotted rhythm) and fourth sonatas. Perhaps we could call it Scriabin's Sonata no. 3.5.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like Scriabin, Stanchinsky suffered from mental health issues and was confined to an institution before being discharged as incurable. He was probably schizophrenic, with hallucinations and inexplicable rage. However, he had periods of normality and eventually went back to the Conservatory.He died mysteriously. After disappearing from his friend's estate his body was discovered, two days later, by a river bank. </span><br />

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Chopin Preludes op.28 and </b></b><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Rachmaninov Preludes op.32</b></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 'prelude' began in the early 18th century, most famously with Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. Bach created the pattern of writing one prelude as an introduction to a fugue in each of the major and minor keys. Chopin developed the idea by omitting the fugue and writing a short, 'miniature' in each of the 24 keys. They range in mood from short and charming to powerful and profound. Op.28 is one of Chopin's finest works for solo piano.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the early 20th Century, Scriabin, Debussy and Rachmaninov adopted Chopin's model, writing preludes for all of the major and minor keys. Rachmaninov's 24 preludes are spread out among 3 opuses (op.3 no.2, op.23 and op.32). We will hear the final set, op.32, comprising thirteen miniatures and being one of Rachmaninov's most soulful compositions for solo piano. </span><br />

The suite was written shortly after the First Piano Concerto and just before Swan Lake in 1875. This was period of great inspiration for Tchaikovsky, as this collection of melodic masterpieces represents.</span><br />

I'm not a fan of early Brahms, but these works are an exception. They display an astounding maturity and are brilliantly crafted. The Two Rhapsodies are mature works and are very popular encore pieces. </span><br />
