From the Publisher
An elegantly restrained air, which shifts between sweet gracefulness and the gentle melancholy of a lyrical Slavic melody, is juxtaposed with the light-footed gaiety of motoring ostinato tarantella phrases and developments of expansive dimensions and particularly in adagio phrases powerful crescendos. A humorous trait can also be found occasionally, for example in the capricious flute themes and the staccato articulations of the piano in the third movement of the suite, in which of note from a structural point of view there is a blend of the sonata and rondo form. In the second movement, the systematically off-beat, impressionistic piano accompaniment in particular brings us to a tender state of uncertainty, which alternates with the idyll of a pastoral melody and naturalistic musical imagery. From the preface by Prof. Alexander Rößler, grandson of the composer Richard Rößler (1880-1962).Performance duration (approx): 48
