Nicholas Medtner (1880-1951) has always been a neglected figure in
the history of Russian music, and yet his friend Rachmaninoff
considered him the greatest of contemporary composers. He wrote
three fine piano concertos, more than one hundred solo piano
compositions, including a cycle of fourteen sonatas fully worthy to
be set alongside those of Scriabin and Prokofiev, and many
beautiful songs. He was also a great pianist. Leaving Russia after
the Bolshevik Revolution, Medtner lived for a time in Germany and
France before finally settling in London, where he passed the final
sixteen years of his life. The present work is the first to tell
the full story of his eventful life and to consider in turn each of
his compositions. The author has drawn on Medtner's own
correspondence and writings and collected the reminiscences of
those who knew him personally to build a comprehensive picture of a
great, if still largely unrecognised, musician.
