Korovitsyn V. Presentiment of Beauty. Piano Music Album

Pieces, which we offer to your attention, hardly be called virtuosic. They don’t demand from a pianist so high technical skills, but another qualities: the fine metrorhythmical realization, deep knowledge of the pedal mastery. And what is the most important — a certain state of mind, which is best expressed by the name of this collection. However, I hope, the performance of this music will contribute to emotional recovery and spiritual growth of a musician. Another important fact. When a pianist includes in his programs classical piano music, especially popular, he is always unwittingly begins to compete with the great musicians of the past, whose perfect performance certainly familiar to discerning listener. Most often, a pianist losing this competition: it is a hopeless case — to compete with Sofronitsky, Yudina, Gilels and Richter. In contrast, here in these pieces, represented in this collection, any interpretations are allowed, thereby avoiding unnecessary comparisons with the manner of more famous colleagues.

I really hope that everyone, who decides to include lyrical pieces from the album “Presentiment of beauty” in his repertoire (or repertoire of their students), can enjoy their learning and execution.
