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.
