Nikolai Medtner - Alla Reminiscenza
no8 from Forgotten Melodies, Cycle I op38 (1919-22)

Thomas Ang, piano

------------------------------------------------

Marked "Quasi Coda", this piece wraps up the long journey through the first cycle of Forgotten Melodies. No new material is introduced here, but the A minor of the Sonata is transformed into a luminous major quasi-waltz, where Medtner returns to a favourite device (8-against-3 rhythms), unfolding a much slower harmonic rhythm over the course of the piece.
