Description
Pictures of Russian Painters is one of the most well-known and performed piano works by Igor Shamo, one of the greatest Ukrainian composers of the 20th century. These highly pictorial pieces are filled with poetry, lyricism, humor, drama, and energy.
Here, as in all of Igor Shamo's music, beautiful melodies, captivated by sweet harmonies, enter into polyphony with the counterpoints. The accompaniments are always evolving. The piano writing of great finesse, with its discoveries, is rich, varied and perfectly executed.
This music, which will delight pianists, is accessible to all types of audiences.
About this edition
This score is based on the 1973 edition, not the manuscripts, which were destroyed. For this engraving, I was assisted by Orlando Bass to ensure that the text was true to the original. However, with the permission of Tamara Shamo (the composer's daughter), I corrected some obvious errors (octaviations, accidentals, missing or misplaced articulations) and added some fingerings.
