Russian & Soviet Composers - Part 3

[caostotale]

We've seen a number of works by this composer, who also worked as an editor for the state publishing house and enjoyed an above-average exposure to works and composers from Western Europe and elsewhere. A short bio can be found at:

Here is another short set of pieces written on Bulgarian themes. He had previously explored that country's melodies in his op. 37 (available in a concert piece volume previously posted by Alfor):

Konstantin Stepanovich SOROKIN
Concert Pieces (5) on Bulgarian Melodies, for piano, op. 46

Sorokin - Concert Pieces (5) on Bulgarian Melodies, for piano, op. 46.pdf

We've previously seen a pretty large collection of selected piano works by this composer. I'm pretty sure this small set of preludes were not included in that one (though there's a different set of five 'concert' preludes). Bio at:

Preludes (3), for piano

Thanks for posting these. In fact, they ARE a part of the 5 Concert Preludes, i.e. numbers 2-3-4 of the set. Have a look in this volume, pages 60-76. http://www.adrive.com/public/hZBRkp/Russian Composers, Vol. 7.pdf

Ha, I should have looked at more than just the first of those concert preludes! Oh well...now there's two editions.

Sorry, alfor. I generally don't forget to note that. If an obscure Soviet composer has shown up before, there's a good chance it was your doing.

Nikolai Nikolayovich POLYNSKY (Uzbekistan)
Ballade, for piano, op. 4

Judging by the bio, he was not a very prolific piano writer. Alfor posted the other of his two piano fugues, that one being based on a theme by Litinsky (in Concert Pieces no. 3). Though the bio says he was born in the southwest of Kyrgyzstan, everything else I could find pointed towards him being a fixture in the Tatar music establishment. He also worked for the publishing house in the late 1960s-early 1970s, which might be why this piece was included in a 1972 issue:

Oleg Nikolayevich LYUBIVETS (Tatarstan)
Fugue, for piano (1959)

Dear c(h)aos,

Thank you for your immense contributation!!

I never mind a good alternative scan. But I just wanted to remind all of us to use pianophilia's
search facility to avoid unnecessary scans.

Best regards
