Description

Alexander Tcherepnin's Bagatelles, composed between 1899 and 1977, stand out as some of his most esteemed and widely appreciated works for keyboard. These ten miniature pieces, each ranging from two to four pages, showcase a diverse array of subtly modern techniques. The more virtuosic selections are designed to enhance rapid finger dexterity, while the lyrical compositions serve as explorations of the interplay between melody and accompaniment. Lynn Freeman Olson's meticulously researched edition includes valuable study notes, complemented by an exceptional CD recording from the Naxos label.
