Overview

This score presents Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky's Gopak, a thrilling and colorful piece arranged for Solo Piano. Mussorgsky (1839–1881), one of the leading figures of the Russian nationalist "Mighty Handful," was celebrated for his deeply evocative music that drew heavily on Russian folklore and history.

The Gopak (or Hopak) is a traditional, energetic Ukrainian folk dance, typically characterized by its quick tempo and vigorous movements. Mussorgsky captures this spirit perfectly, transforming the folk dance into a sophisticated piano miniature filled with rhythmic drive and melodic flair. While the piece is concise (6 pages), it offers pianists an excellent opportunity to explore rhythmic intensity and programmatic expression within the Russian Romantic style. This edition, published by Editio Musica Budapest, makes this popular and accessible dance piece readily available for recitals, study, and general repertoire.

Áttekintés (Hungarian)

Ez a kotta Muszorgszkij, Modeszt Petrovics Gopak című, izgalmas és színes darabját mutatja be, szóló zongorára hangszerelve. Muszorgszkij (1839–1881), az orosz nacionalista "Hatalmas Ötök" egyik vezető alakja, mélyen elragadó zenéjéért ünnepelték, amely erősen támaszkodott az orosz folklórra és történelemre.

Gopak (vagy Hopak) egy hagyományos, energikus ukrán néptánc, amelyet általában gyors tempó és erőteljes mozgások jellemeznek. Muszorgszkij tökéletesen megragadja ezt a szellemet, a néptáncot kifinomult zongora miniatúrává alakítva, amelyet ritmikai lendület és dallami báj tölt meg. Bár a darab tömör (6 oldal), kiváló lehetőséget kínál a zongoristáknak a ritmikus intenzitás és a programzenei kifejezés felfedezésére az orosz romantikus stíluson belül. Ez az Editio Musica Budapest által kiadott kiadvány széles körben elérhetővé teszi ezt a népszerű és hozzáférhető táncdarabot koncertekre, tanulmányozásra és általános repertoárra.

Interesting Facts

  • Origin of the Gopak: Mussorgsky’s most famous setting of the Gopak is typically the one transcribed from his opera Sorochyntsi Fair (A Szorocsinci vásár). This short, spirited piece is often performed as a standalone work, showcasing Mussorgsky's genius for turning folk idioms into high art.
  • The "Mighty Handful": Mussorgsky was part of a group of Russian composers (Balakirev, Cui, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov) dedicated to creating a distinct Russian classical music that utilized native themes and musical forms, of which the Gopak is a prime example.
  • Rhythmic Challenge: The Gopak is typically in a quick $2/4$ time and requires a strong sense of pulse and dynamic contrast from the performer, making it an excellent technical study in rhythm and accentuation.
