What's the most astonishing thing about Medtner is that he don't have a single bas piece, they are all masterpieces, and very individual and different masterpeice, but still in the perceptible Medtner's style! These four adorable compositions are no exceptions, even despite Medtner's style wasn't fully developed in his early works.
Absolutely brilliant all four of them! Everything Medtner wrote, even these obscure early pieces are masterpieces. I only have the Milne hyperion recordings so it's nice to hear these other pianists
Ngl, I was pretty confused at first seeing the length of the video. Four pieces, all played by 3 pianists, in 10 minutes. That would mean the 4 pieces could only be around (10/3)/4 = 0.833 minutes each, which seemed even more strange when I realized the first piece I was listening had already played for over a minute, so the only way it would make sense was if the other 3 pieces after the first one were extremely small, which seemed very weird for Medtner. Then when the first piece got to 2 minutes I got suspicous of everythng, and realized there were timestamps, and subsequently that only 4 pieces were included, and the 3 pianists played the ones which they played best. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I agree. But I like these pieces, except dare I say the Etude? I'll have to listen to it several more times before I'll know what to think of it, but it's certainly not as inspired as the other works in the set, particularly the Prelude.

Lmao, yeah I knew it was gonna happen, I hope it won't be as confusing for everyone
The second one is my favourite uwu
Same, it's so good
I find it funny that the prelude comes last.
plot twist: you're supposed to play the set in the reverse order than they are published
1:12 I heard introito lmfao
In my opinion, only the last work sounds in the style of Medtner, all the rest looks like more youthful works, although very good
