Vergessene Weisen ‘Forgotten Melodies’ (Second Cycle), Op 39; I. Meditazione: Introduzione, quasi Cadenza – Meno mosso – Meditamente
Nikolai Medtner, composer
Marc-André Hamelin, piano
As anyone who has followed me on Tumblr for at least the last couple of months would know, I have an obsession with Nikolai Medtner. I’ve previously posted various pieces from his Forgotten Melodies, from all three cycles. I’ve decided that over the period of a few days I’m going to post each (5) from the second cycle as performed by Marc-André Hamelin. Whether or not those days are consecutive, we shall see. I have previously posted the 5th (Sonata Tragica) so some of you will have already heard it (if you were so willing and interested as to click “play”). I will beat Medtner into your heads if I have to.
