Album by Nikolai Karlovich Medtner & Ádám Fellegi

The "Sonata in F minor, Op. 5" is Nikolay Medtner's first large-scale piano work, composed between 1901 and 1903. This four-movement sonata showcases Medtner's mastery of musical structure, blending dramatic and lyrical elements that reflect his unique compositional voice. (en.wikipedia.org) The "Sonata-Triad, Op. 11," composed between 1904 and 1908, comprises three one-movement sonatas inspired by Goethe's "Trilogy of Passion." Each piece translates themes of passion, suffering, and redemption into music, highlighting Medtner's ability to intertwine literary inspiration with his distinct musical language. Both works are significant in Medtner's oeuvre, illustrating his deep engagement with literary themes and his contribution to the piano sonata genre.
