Many commenters have pointed out Scriabin, but here is the second strongest influence: Felix Blumenfeld (Kosenko’s №3 compared to the latter’s Op.17 №20, №9 to Op.17 №8 fis moll, №10 to №14 es moll, and at 32:43, comes an undeniable reference-Étude de concert Op.24). Come on, those wide open harmonies and octave melodies accompanied by repeated arpeggios and tremolos without too much alteration... I would even say that №4 is slightly Godowsky-esque (between his Renaissance suite, sonata, and Java suite). An absolute like from me because Scriabin, Blumenfeld, and Godowsky are the composers that I love unconditionally.
wow wow wow I love these! I also love that you selected different pianists for each number. That no.7 is one of the best piano music... also no.8, 11... They should be more known.
@@SeigneurReefShark Kosenko really needs some research. It seems that there are many versions of his pieces... It's too sad that I can't do that because I live so far from Ukraine.
Do you know where to buy the sheet music as a book like from a official publisher? I did only find sheet music from imslp... would love to play them for my masters piano
Usually, in art, it is not a positive characteristic-‘true Soviet’-because in the USSR, music composition was highly regulated, as well as other branches of art. More than 878 composers, conductors, and musicians were sent to labour camps or executed in the USSR for their artistic freedom or without any reason at all (being too avant-garde was criminalised, being too conservative was criminalised as well). Zhilyayev, Khrennikov, Veynberg, Veprik, Mosolov, Nosyrev to name a few. Members of the Union of Composers would write false reports and accusations to save their arses or advance their careers. Moreover, these days, Ukrainians are heavily opposed to being associated with the USSR for many reasons. So I am puzzled why being ‘true Soviet’ should be seen as a good characteristic-although you probably implied that this music bears a lot of resemblance to that of great Russian and Ukrainian composers, which indeed it does!

Yes! I definitely agree.
I was listening to Blumenfeld while taking a walk and youtube autoplayed this video and I thought I was still listening to Blumenfeld haha
An absolutely stunning perfomance of Ukrainian prodigious composer's masterpieces.
Thanks a lot for uploading.
The beginning No. 2 reminds me of Scriabins Op. 8 No. 11, probably aided by the fact they are in the same key
WHERE 12 😡
Kosenko is damn good wtf 😳
Magnificent music. Like Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin had a baby.
No. 5 is absolutely insane! Pure fire
I should have recommended these lovely pieces.
indeed masterpieces!!!
傑作や！

Well, most of the time I didn't had the choice actually, because the sheet wasn't corresponding!

Also piano that Osinchuk used for recording sounds marvelous in #8 (and other # too)
Wow... reminiscent of Scriabin is dead on! That second one almost made me think I was listening to the wrong video... and also Op.8? Cheeky lol
That last one is amazing
no.8 is awesome
ETUDES
Які чудові виконання! І артисти неперевершені, дуже шкода, що про них зовсім нічого не відомо в Україні, окрім хіба що Віоліни Петриченко.
Між іншим, для мене прикладом виконання восьмого етюду є твоє. Браво!
Kosenko when left hand
Indeed they are Scriabnesque, same opus number and the style itself somewhat resembles early to late middle period Scriabin
GRACIAAS

Small typo.. No. 7 Should say Allegro Vivace, not allegro con fuoco :)
Thank you!
description is wrong about No.11, it's E major
I was asked to provide some Ukrainian piano music.

A true Soviet...

Okay Putin I can't tell you this composer is going to agree with this statement but let's see what happens. Lol
@@f1f1s thank you, I was just about to explain that.
