NOCTURNES IN THE PIANO HERITAGE OF ANTON RUBINSTEIN

Abstract

The article tells about the work of the brilliant Russian musician, pianist and public figure of the 19th century Anton Rubinstein.  Different aspects of his work are considered. In addition to large  forms such as a concert or sonata the composer often turned to the  genre of miniature. Rubinstein created more than two hundred piano pieces: preludes and romances, impromptu and lullabies, scherzos  and ballads, elegies,  waltzes, serenades, barcarolles, mazurkas, polonaises. Anton Rubinstein could not get around such a genre as a nocturne which  underwent serious changes throughout the entire creative career of the  composer. The author analyzes several nocturnes by Anton Rubinstein.
