Glinka-Gryaznov. Valse-Fantasie.

Описание: Glinka-Gryaznov. Valse-Fantasie.
Vyacheslav Gryaznov's arrangement of M. Glinka's Valse-fantasie.

His program notes:

"My version of Glinka’s Valse-fantasie is probably one of the most stylistically mixed arrangements I have ever done. Indeed it is very far from the original. When writing it, I never knew what the end it would be, the music just drove me forward, far from Glinka, as well as away from my initial concept. It was exciting to trust in my own imagination and await the outcome. Over the years, I formulated for myself that this arrangement shows some kind of a big layer of Russian music development, from Glinka to Tchaikovsky, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff. Maybe even Prokofiev sometimes. It is amazing to see what potential a simple melody has that was born at the beginning of Russian classical music history." -Vyacheslav Gryaznov
