Pianophilia

As far as I know, this was the last set of piano works composed by Golubev, whose earlier work (including ten sonatas) has been well-represented on this forum:

Yevgeny Kirillovich GOLUBEV
Metaphors (8), for piano, op. 90 (1986-87) Edit: A late song-cycle of Golubev's has been posted at:

Here's the second of Peiko's piano sonatas. To the best of my knowledge, he wrote a total of three numbered sonatas, as well as one for left-hand only. The first one was part of a larger Peiko piano volume that can be found earlier in this thread. I've not seen the third one in publication. This and the first one were included on the first of pianist Dmitry Korostelyov's Toccata records covering Peiko's complete piano music, a disc from last year that I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in modern Russian music (liner notes can be read at http://www.toccataclassics.com/liner_no ... -notes.pdf ).

Nikolai Ivanovich PEIKO (PEYKO)
Piano Sonata no. 2 (1972-75)

...and another sonata by a composer I've seen dubbed a 'Belarussian Shostakovich', though he was born in Lithuania. As with his other sonatas, this piece was recorded by pianist Alexander Tutunov for a two-disc Altarus set, a wonderful release.

Lev Moiseyevich ABELIOVICH (Belarus)
Piano Sonata no. 3 (1974)

Great contributions Caostotale !!!

Thanks.

Excellent additions, caostotale! Thank you so much for all these scores!

Best regards!

The first of a number of Russian works I'll be posting over the next few weeks - the king of salon pieces: Vasily Arefievich Prisovsky. One of the most popular composers of salon music during the late 19th - early 20th century, and is the author of over 200 fantasies, lyrical waltzes, marches, patriotic pieces, and many other piano works and songs.

One of these is in greyscale as pages were extremely yellowed.

Very charming. Thank you, Malcolm.

Thank you, Malcolm! Really nice!

Many thanks to caostotale for those interesting pieces AND the recording references (duly ordered, thank you very much!)

Thanks also to Malcolm for the Prisovsky miniatures.

V Krauz - 19th century Russian composer but know little else (sorry no dates or other biographical information). He wrote a handful of piano works including two sets of variations - of which this is the first. And hopefully got the title of the song correct but grateful if someone more fluent in Russian can verify ?
