Felix Mikhailovich Blumenfeld was a Russian composer, conductor, pianist, and teacher.
He was born in Kovalevka, Kherson Governorate, Russian Empire (today - part of Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine), the son of Mikhail Frantsevich Blumenfeld and the Polish Marie Szymanowska, and studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and piano under Fedor Stein between 1881 and 1885. He then taught piano there himself from 1885 until 1918, whilst also serving as conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre until 1911.
This theatre saw the premieres of the operas composed by his teacher and mentor Rimsky-Korsakov, and he was also the conductor at the Russian premiere of Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde.
In 1908, he conducted the Paris premiere of Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov.
From 1918 to 1922, he was the director of the Music-drama school of Mykola Lysenko in Kiev, where, amongst others, Vladimir Horowitz was a pupil in his masterclasses. He returned to the Moscow Conservatory in 1922, teaching there until his death. Other famous pupils of his include Simon Barere, Maria Yudina and Maria Grinberg. He died in Moscow.
As a pianist, he played many of the compositions of his Russian contemporaries. His compositions, which showed the influence of Frédéric Chopin and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, include a symphony, pieces for solo piano, an Allegro de Concert for piano and orchestra, and lieder. His virtuoso pieces for piano in particular are enjoying something of a renaissance in recent years.
He was the uncle of Heinrich Neuhaus and first cousin, once removed of Karol Szymanowski (Felix and Karol's father, Stanislaw Szymanowski, were cousins).

21:12 that's one hell of a coda
very well composed piece. One of his best
Sounds like scriabin early works. Amazing!
Yes, especially with that title
Scriabin, but just without anything good.
Breathtaking climax
If Scriabin, Chopin and Rachmaninov had a child haha, really awesome find !
Yeah I don’t think 3 men would pull that off. Thanks for the laugh
0:45 Sound like Liszt's harmonies (Trancendental Etude no 8)
the performer on this recording is daniel grimwood, fyi! would appreciate it if you added him in the description
Done, thanks!
20:12
21:01 This part is so ridiculous
Un compositor y una música brutales, me encanta haber descubierto este compositor…
I don't believe I've ever heard a piano sonata from this ear end on an augmented chord. On purpose.
2nd mvt. is the best of the whole piece.
3rd movement is fucking based
woah
The Three Nerdy Musketeers -- Monstrous, blood!
More like Brahms in my opinion. But with a loosen structure.
0:30 Medtner piano sonata op.5 ?
13:11 that brief moment of quartal harmony is something special.
12:19
Not pathbreaking, but very impressive and engaging. Would help to know when he wrote it to put it into context.
1913
@@mckernan603 Thank you
Got stuck after first bar , wow my fingers would fall off
Sound like early Scriabin with a bit of Liszt mixed in.
honestly Blumenfeld is a superior composer
@@mckernan603 Than Scriabin or Liszt? I'm just curious. Blumenfeld did write some masterful works definitely
reminds me a lot of Rachmaninov and Chopin (prelude in Eminor)
Me encanta el final en acorde aumentado
Very nice piece but I can't help wondering why Blumenfeld only wrote one sonata (?) maybe it was a form he wasn't comfortable with? I wouldn't want to write a sonata post Scriabin unless I had something new or innovative :O thank you
Is this available on simply piano?
could the pianist be Vladimir Belov, a student of Blumenfeld who recorded some of his music?
The Pianist is Daniel Grimwood.
Absolutely no structure.
Horribly rhythm from this pianist. There is rubato and then there is this mess. If one didn’t have the sheet music in front of them it would be impossible to make sense if it.
