20th Century Russian Composers for Piano.

Description

Edited by Zaza Sovik. For Piano. Solos. Koenemann. Russian. Level: Advanced.

This volume includes a group of, until now, lesser-known Russian composers–those composers who in recent decades developed their styles based on Classical-Romantic music, maintaining a close connection to the traditions of Western Europe.

The piano music of Anatoly Alexandrov, Vladislav Igolinsky, Vladimir Ryabov, Mikhail Kollontay, Vladislav Agafonnikov, and Sergei Movchan leads one into a new soundscape which can justifiably be viewed as the continuation of music by Balakirev, Tchaikovsky, and Skryabin. Also includes brief biographies of the composers. 88 pages.
