Artless Pages, 7 Impromptus

With his five piano concertos, sonatas and 24 preludes and fugues, Rodion Shchedrin is one of the most outstanding piano music composers of our time. As he is an excellent pianist himself, he was able to perform the world premiere of many of his works himself. With the seven varied movements of 'Artless Pages', Shchedrin now presents a cycle for piano that has been remotely inspired by Schumann's 'Kinderszenen'. In the last movement 'Der Politiker spricht' he directly alludes to Schumann's 'Der Dichter spricht'.
