Selected Works, piano

Ausgewählte Werke

Edición de / Edited by: Ohmen, Wilhelm

Anton Rubinstein (1829-1894), the musical child prodigy from Ukraine, gave his first piano concert at the age of nine. He was one of the most successful and most famous performers of his time. His performance was characterized by overwhelming virtuosity and fascinating expressiveness. A later pupil of Franz Liszt, he attracted attention not only for his successful concert tours throughout Europe but also as a composer. His extensive oeuvre, covering numerous genres, was influenced by Western European Romanticism, by composers such as Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin. This volume of selected works for the piano, 'Ausgewählte Klavierwerke', offers a manageable selection from his numerous piano works, including the popular 'Melody' in F major Op. 3, the beautiful 'Rêve angélique' as well as 'Romance' Op. 10/5 and 'Valse-Caprice', a popular bravura piece. Because of the full piano setting and the large fingering patterns, his works are suitable for advanced players.
