Overview
Discover the refined charm of Russian Romanticism with Anatoly Liadov's Album for Piano. Anatoly Liadov (1855–1914) was a master of the concise, exquisitely crafted musical miniature, often overlooked compared to his contemporaries but highly valued for his harmonic sophistication and colorful orchestration.
This collection, part of the publisher's popular Album Series for Piano, features twelve diverse pieces spanning several of Liadov's opus numbers, including Preludes, Mazurkas, Arabesques, and his famous musical novelty, Une tabatière à musique (A Music Box). Edited by Gábor Kováts, this volume provides intermediate to advanced pianists with a valuable resource for exploring Liadov's delicate, expressive, and technically brilliant piano repertoire. The pieces are perfect for recital programming, offering poetic contrast and insight into the late Russian Romantic style.
Áttekintés (Hungarian)
Fedezze fel az orosz romantika kifinomult báját Anatoly Liadov Album for Piano (Album zongorára) című gyűjteményével. Anatoly Liadov (1855–1914) a tömör, elragadóan megmunkált zenei miniatúra mestere volt, akit kortársaihoz képest gyakran figyelmen kívül hagytak, de harmóniai kifinomultságáért és színes hangszereléséért nagyra értékeltek.
Ez a gyűjtemény, a kiadó népszerű Album sorozat zongorára részeként, tizenkét különböző darabot tartalmaz Liadov opus-számaiból, többek között prelűdöket, mazurkákat, arabeszkeket és híres zenei újdonságát, az Une tabatière à musique-et (Egy zenedoboz). Kováts Gábor szerkesztésében ez a kötet értékes forrást biztosít a középhaladó és haladó zongoristák számára Liadov finom, kifejező és technikailag ragyogó zongorarepertoárjának felfedezéséhez. A darabok kiválóan alkalmasak koncertprogramok összeállítására, költői kontrasztot és betekintést nyújtva a késő orosz romantikus stílusba.

Interesting Facts
- Liadov and the "Mighty Handful": Liadov studied under Rimsky-Korsakov and was associated with the Russian nationalist composers, though he often adopted a more personal, poetic, and less programmatic style than his colleagues. He was known for his extreme meticulousness, which contributed to his small body of finished works, but ensured their high quality.
- Une tabatière à musique (Op. 32): This piece, composed in 1893, is one of Liadov's most recognized piano works. It uses high-pitched, delicate textures and repeating, mechanical motives to evoke the sound of a musical snuffbox or clockwork mechanism—a charming example of musical trompe-l'œil.
- Educational Value: The Mazurkas and Waltzes in this collection are vital for understanding Russian Romantic dance rhythms, which are often melancholic and subtly complex.
