| Abstract | At the turn of the 20th century, Russian composers Felix Blumenfeld, Anton Arensky, C้sar Cui, and Reinhold Gli่re crafted sets of piano character pieces, notably the 24 Preludes op. 17 (1892), 24 Morceaux caract้ristiques op. 36 (1894), 25 Pr้ludes op. 64 (1903), and 25 Preludes op. 30 (published in 1906 - 1908), respectively. Blumenfeld mirrors the tonal organization of Chopin's 24 Preludes, op. 28, while Arensky and Gli่re draw inspiration from Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier. Cui innovatively differs from Chopin's scheme by sequencing minor key works before relative major ones. Both Cui and Gli่re's sets encompass 25 preludes, concluding with an additional piece in C major. Each collection exhibits distinct traits, harmonizing Western Romantic tradition with Russian nationalistic elements. This exploration provides insights into tonal structures, influences, and cyclic performances, spotlighting the distinctive character of these lesser-known yet captivating piano compositions. |
