I love this, as I always have, and now I've got it on CD. (Eventually I can rip FLAC or whatever for those interested, because the Mosolov stuff can be tricky to find.)
A lot of the motifs seem almost to be mocking the popular-song type tunes of the era. I'm not sure how, but it's brilliantly executed.
O.O I feel nothing compared to this musical monument of rough granite! It's trully visional, as most of the works of Post-Scriabinist Russian Avant-Garde Composers prior to 1923...
Speaking as someone who can't stand Stockhausen, I find this pretty cool; it's both very original, while still maintaining a certain degree of order and logic in the way the notes are put together, a balance a lot of the more extreme "avant-garde" composers in my opinion seem to fail at.
haha i love his ostinatos, as well as the unique harmonic language though with a hint of prokofiev in some parts. imo this particular work isn't disturbing at all.
Haha, I like your reply. I do like modernism in prokofiev, shostakovich, stravinsky, bartok, and some hindemith, but for the true hardcore advant gardists, those guy aren't really avant garde...anymore. But dudes like Alban Berg and this stuff...it's I don't "understand" it...it's just that, I honestly can't it's enjoyable. The music is so....not going anywhere.
Where can I get the sheet music for this (or any other Mosolov, Roslavets, etc. piano music)? The only Soviet avant-garde composer whose music I've found on IMSLP is Protopopov.
He did a good job of bringing out the echoes in the right hand. Also very savage in parts that requires it and mysterious in parts that require it. Maybe it was a little rhythmically dry but it had good counterpoint and structure.
A number of Russian music scholars, Larry Sitsky and Peter Deane Roberts for example, believe Mosolov's piano sonatas are some of the most original works to emerge from the Soviet 1920s.
I agree this piece is astounding. It is most definitely one of the best works from the 1920's. But, I think it could have been better. Though, I really have no room to talk because my compositions don't come close to this level.

what is interesting here is the space between the left and the right hand. It's as if they're disembodied from one another.

This is so awesome, the almost atonal feel in this piece sounds like he invented a 'new' key. Very pleasant to listen to!

Much better than the first piano sonata, but still could improve.

Improve? This is a masterpiece.
A number of Russian music scholars, Larry Sitsky and Peter Deane Roberts for example, believe Mosolov's piano sonatas are some of the most original works to emerge from the Soviet 1920s.
No one was writing music like this.

Original and cool, although (at least I feel) the general harmonic flavor was largely set by Scriabin, before him.
