I sense influence of Chopin etude op.10 no.1. Henslet's etudes are much underrated, I like his solo music a lot but I do not see why everyone loves the piano concerto so much.
I'm at a disadvantage because I've heard a lot of 19th-century piano concerti, and so many of them are salon trifles saturated with glittering passage-work and lacking serious expression. Even the best of them by Kalkbrenner, Moscheles, and Herz tend to fall flat.
At least Henselt's PC is actually dramatic and at times profound. He knows how to write decent themes and there's something outstanding about his embellishments and pianistic writing.
I am not disagreeing (I like Kalkbrenner's 1st concerto though), it just seems a bit cheesy (the Henslet) and nothing amazing compositionally. It is not that bad though.
@morvensky Actually a mix of the 0p. 10 no. 1 and the feel of the Op 10 no. 8... The f-minor piano concerto, in my ears, has the heavy drama of the 19th century in it. And it simply has a great deal of energy to it. It is also one of the very difficult pieces (I used to have a score), and so people like it for the acrobatics. ...
It also sounds like something alkan would have composed, minus the trademark thematic developments and Alkan's own brand of counterpoint and rhythmic device in general.
Whose version is it?

This reminds me of Chopin op 10 no 1 with more some contemporary alterations.

I love your tags to this video: "Chopin, Liszt, Alkan" - truly, they paved the way the others followed. I love your sense of humour...

I think Henselt can rise one to two level in popularity
He is even lesser known than Alkan,Alkan was getting known more nowadays :P

henselt's Etudes stand alongside chopin's I think.
It is absolutely shame that this music isn't well known such like Alkan!
Thanks for Posting :D

I agree! Doesn't the motif of this piece remind you of Chopin's "Sunrise" etude?(Op 10 no 8)
regiear1991 2 years ago 3
yes,the first motif reminds us of chopin's op.10 nr.8 but the rest of it is surely chopin'sop.10 nr.1...!!!

It also looks like Chopin's Ballade n.2 when you just look at the scores
