	Nikolai Medtner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nikolai Karlovich Medtner (Николай Карлович Метнер) (January 5, 1880 – November 13, 1951) was a Russian composer and pianist.
		Medtner never adapted himself to the commercial aspects of touring and concerts became infrequent.
		Medtner recorded piano rolls of some of his works for Welte-Mignon in 1923 and Duo-Art in 1925.

	NIKOLAI MEDTNER by Geoffrey Tozer
		Nikolai Medtner was born in Moscow on 5 January 1880.
		Medtner's mother was a musician, and though Medtner chose music as a profession at a very early age, it was later remarked that few musicians ever frequented the Medtner home, which was famous rather as a centre for the discussion of philosophy and aesthetics.
		Medtner however chose to devote himself to composition, and under the guidance of Taneyev mastered the rules of harmony and counterpoint to an astonishing degree.

		Nikolai Karlovich Medtner was born to parents of German descent who had lived in Russia for several generations.
		Medtner's music was harmonically adventurous, but had a Romantic aesthetic that was out of fashion in trendy Paris.
		Medtner was overlooked during the largely anti-Romantic twentieth century, but his music has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest.

	88keys.com - The Composer-Pianists - Nikolai Medtner
		Medtner was born in 1880 into a widely cultured Muscovite family, which stimulated lifelong passions for art, literature and music.
		Medtner died in 1951, quietly maintaining – as did a fervent group of supporters – that his life's work would eventually survive the challenges posed by impressionism, modernism and atonality.
		Medtner considered himself Beethoven's spiritual scion, generally giving more weight in his music to its empyreal and intellectual impact of his music rather than to sensuality or color.

	Welcome to Medtner.com
		Nikolai Medtner was born in Moscow on January 5, 1880, descended from Livonians - Germans long settled in the Baltic countries - though throughout his life he considered himself thoroughly Russian, inseparably connected with his homeland and the whole of Russian culture.
		The composer's father, Karl Petrovich, born Estonian, instilled in Nikolai this profound love for poetry, and for literature and art, creating of their home a center for the discussion of philosophy and aesthetics.
		Medtner's music continued to be published in the 1920s, but at the start of the new decade the official attitude toward the composer changed, and performances of his work were discouraged.

	Medtner, Nicolai Karlovich
		In the five years left to him Medtner recorded all three of his piano concerti, a few of his fourteen sonatas, and many songs and short piano pieces, and he was able to complete the piano quintet he had worked on for decades.
		Medtner remains forgotten except among a small body of devotees, his music regarded as retrograde, over-busy, derivative; Rachmaninoff without the tunes.
		Medtner's aesthetic is in fact very modern in its preference for compression and linear expressivity.

	The Nikolai Medtner Biography Page on Classic Cat
		Medtner first took lessons from his mother until the age of ten, when he entered the Moscow Conservatory.
		Despite his conservative musical tastes, Medtner's compositions were highly regarded by his contemporaries and his skills as a piano virtuoso were second only to Rachmaninov.
		The one-movement Ninth Sonata, opus 30 in A minor, seems an odd man out for having no title (unless one counts the opus 5, or calls it "War Sonata" as is occasionally done: prefacing the score are the words "during the war 1914-1917") It is a dark, terse and harmonically exploratory work of considerable power.

	Yareev's schmonz.com: University Writing: Research Paper
		Medtner was born in Moscow in 1880 to an artistically inclined family, sufficiently well to do to foster a “consciously intellectual atmosphere in the home” (Martyn, 2).
		When Medtner left the conservatory in 1900, having been awarded the Small Gold Medal as the top graduating pianist, “Safonov is said have declared that, with so prodigious a talent, Medtner should have been given a diamond medal, had such a thing existed” (Martyn, 9).
		Medtner “does not regard melody as a sort of series of telegraph wires superimposed on the rest of the musical landscape, nor is harmony in his eyes a dominant element, nor rhythm a self-sufficient one in the musical structure.

	Premiere Music Distributors - NIKOLAI MEDTNER : Piano Music Volume 2 - Hamish Milne
		Nikolai Karlovich Medtner was a Russian Composer and pianist.
		He composed somewhat over sixty groups of works given opus numbers (and a few works not,) including works for piano solo, with violin, voice, quartet, second piano, and with orchestra.
		The opening is a regular sonata form, while the slow movement keeps returning to its main theme (the work it reminds many people of was not written for thirty years more,) while the minatory final march with variations ends with a coda which sees the themes from earlier movements through odd angles.

	Jennifer Tao - The Music
		Medtner taught at the Moscow Conservatoire in 1909-10, returning from 1914 through 1921.
		A few years before Medtner's death, the Maharajah of Mysore became his patron and was able to fund a project for Medtner to record his own works.
		Medtner takes us along his full-blooded melody into realms of passion, even despair, as well as into the tenebrous register of the piano: extremes adeptly framed in the music of a first class artist.

	SINO-SOVIET CONCERT by Elaine Chew
		Nikolai, father of Alexander Tcherepnin, taught Sergei Prokofiev conducting at the St. Petersberg Conservatory.
		Nikolai Medtner was a contemporary of and highly regarded by Prokofiev.
		With its abruptly changing moods -- nervous, tender, and suddenly angry, often in the space of a few bars -- the G sharp minor Fairy Tale is both mercurial and sensitive.

	Heine-Lieder : Bergstimme = Gornyi golos (Ein Reiter durch das Bergtal zieht) / Medtner
		Unlike any other setting of this text, the "Bergstimme" always echoes the "Reitersmann" exactly in pitch and rhythm, but this is not made obvious.
		As is to be expected with Medtner, the very late Romantic harmonies become quite convoluted and dissonant in the pathos-filled middle section and its extended piano interlude, but calm is reasserted at the end.
		This setting, like Medtner's other two Heine settings, truly deserves far wider recognition and performance.

	CD Baby: JENNIFER TAO: Tao Piano
		Although Nikolai Karlovich Medtner (1880-1951)was considered one of the finest pianists of his day, he followed the path of the composer.
		This is evident immediately from the Medtner that opens the disc and impresses with Tao's febrile and persuasive sense of rubato.
		Her tone is rich and unforced, with chordings that pile up sonorously in climactic passages.
