Composed by A. Rubenstein, T. Leschitizsky. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 7 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3603237. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862658).Melody in F has been around as a so-called "light classical" piece since its famed composer made his US tour at the end of the 19th century. In its original form the tune was passed from hand to hand; unnecessarily, in our view.
This setting has the tune ALL in the RH, where the in-between chords are as well.
Anton, with his massive Russian hand, had no trouble using 10ths freely as accompaniment, whilst finding a thumb for the tune, once in awhile. We think Normal Humans might not like that quite so much. The LH can be arpeggiated freely by anyone without a comfortable 10th, which is to say, me and most of the rest of us, eh!
The Leschtizsky Consolation, also in F, uses the same kind of RH thumb-tune, with chords above interspersed on the off-beats, just as his students' piece uses. Yes, he taught Rubenstein. These pieces both are predecessors of Rachmaninoff's harmonically-based compositions, where the tune and the harmony are a single unified entity.
This music has a place for students and aspiring artists who want to know how the modern Russian School was formed. Melody notes are clearly double-stemmed, and harmony is spelled clearly so the harmonic progression is easily defined. MP3 file has Melody, then Consolation. MBB .
