- Initially a piano student of his father in Lancut, Leschetizky first performed at the age of ten in Lemberg shortly thereafter moving to Vinna with his family. Czerny and Sechter were his respective teachers in piano and composition. In 1852 he moved to St Petersburg where he became friendly with Anton Rubinstein, appeared before the tsar and attracted numerous piano pupils. By 1862 Leschetizky was an instructor and director of piano at the Conservatory. By 1878 he had returned to Vienna devoting himself to teaching. As a conductor and pianist Leschetizky was active and successful. His teaching pedagogy included an emphasis on concentration and a learned understanding of every detail of the music. The compositions which Leschetizky composed were for the piano and included nocturnes, romances, and salon dances.
One of his few compositions which has survived in the periphery of solo piano repertoire is his ingenious left hand only reworking of the sextet "Chi me frena in tal momento" from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, based on the novel by Sir Walter Scott The Bride of Lammermoor. The writing suggests the composer was familiar with Liszt's paraphrase (for two hands!) of the same source material. The agony of doubt in the heart of Lucia, the result of love and seeming infidelity, takes shape in Leschetizky's treatment in poignant arpeggios, growing, in the manner of Liszt, to encompass the whole keyboard.

Yes.
@@thenameisgsarci , please, put this detail there.
Yeah it's done, took a while to put the description, sorry about that.
@@thenameisgsarci, ok, no problems.
@@daniloberaldo570 It shows in the score anyway: "pour la main gauche seule"
He sounds like he's struggling quite a lot with this piece, already the scale at 00:35 is very uneven. Of course, it's for the left hand but if you're recording this kind of repertoire your left hand better be good! In the Andante at 02:10 it's quite hard to follow the melody, I don't understand what is accompaniement and what melody, and it is played without lyricism.
Other than that, thank you for the upload and sharing this interesting piece!
