Nikolai de V. Stcherbatchev : Barcarolle Orientale : Chant-Nocturne, Op. 35

[MrVektriol]

Globalisation is not an invention of today. I'd like to know by what ways an unknown Russian musician dedicated his Barcarolle Orientale to an unknown Italian composer. Thanks for the piece and interpretation!

@MrVektriol The 19th c musical world was quite cosmopolitan. Sinigaglia travelled widely, and I would imagine that he could have met Stcherbatchev either in Russia, or in Leipzig (where the piece was actually published). Thanks for your kind comment!

Excellent! Such a fine composer. As far as I know you are the only person to ever make a recording in any format of Stcherbatchev's music. A full CD of his music is long, long overdue! Keep up the great work.

@PapaDontCome Thank you. I too would like to see a CD with his larger works on it!

I've always loved the pieces you play and how you play them, really inspiring! Normally how many hours a day do you practice to actually perfect a piece?

[PSearPianist]

@modblast Thank you for that. It is difficult to say how long I practice - it depends very much on the piece. This one I worked on over several days as it is quite subtle and one has to get the feel of it.
