🇷🇺Nikolai Karlovich Medtner ： Sonate-triade No.1 in As-Dur Op.11-1

Medtner’s No. 1 from the Sonate-triade condenses a variety of characters into a single movement. Forcefully driven passages alternate with lyrical episodes that unfold in songful lines, while tightly interwoven voices give the music considerable depth. A key attraction lies in making the changes of character clear while shaping the work as one continuous arc. In performance, it is important to listen not only to the principal melody but also to the movement of the inner voices, voicing each part clearly without clouding the harmony. The performer should preserve the musical flow through sudden dynamic changes while balancing lyricism with momentum.
