Description
:
The three Russian composers are all excellent pianists, and the piano plays a major role in all of their works. The “Grand Sextet” by Glinka could be described as a “small piano concerto” in its own right, with the emphasis on the piano and the high level of technique required of the pianist. The “Allegro,” a piano sextet of less than three minutes that Tchaikovsky wrote as a student, and the “Sextet” by Lyapunov, whose third movement, “Nocturne,” is a gem of beauty, are all profound works.
