A beautiful piece of music, among the great composers, who are too often played while beautiful music like this concerto are not often played.
Gérard Begni
Arenski was one of the composers who had the task to make Russian music evolve from Tchaikovski to another world. He was a first step, perhaps a timid step, but a first step and an appealing step.

True....a Wünder! And especially his "Morceaux" and "Characteristic Pieces" for piano + Opera (plural of Opus) Nos. 36, 53, 22, 25, 28, 33,, 42, 52, , 63, 74, 34.....
Gérard Begni
@Stevee GALLO Absolutely true. In my opinion, both Arensky and Taneyev, perhaps even more original, are highly underrated. Cheers. .
