Thank you so much for this music! I didnt even know about Medtner until I found your muploads by accident. Now I have bought a 7 CD box with his complete sonatas and piano works! Thank you so much :-)) greetings from Germany

PS: Also I dont know classical music very well, it is simply about if you like a music piece or not....and Medtner is fantastic, totally underrated

I just played this at a concert on Tuesday. It went off perfectly! :D We even managed to play at about this tempo, and at the end the guest of honor came and congratulated us particularly out of all the different participating pairs of duet partners. Thanks for uploading this video, it was a great reference in our practice sessions :)

surely not the best of medtner :\

[nikolaimedtner]

disagreed. i think this composition is a little piece of miracle, a masterwork.

[thetamman]

i agree - this is one of his best compositions

[Drakonurion]

@hedgehod what is the best :-O ?

this little piece is very nice and full of joy :-)

[hedgehod]

@Drakonurion i think his Knight Errant is way better.

[Drakonurion]

@hedgehod hmmm .... I like the round dance more because it is more "light" and playful and maybe more russian (?) ;-)

[Drakonurion]

@Drakonurion and maybe somehow rachmaninowesque ??
