The "Compozitor Publishing House • St Petersburg" offers your attention the compositions by Mikhail Mchedelov (19034—1974), one of the most distinguished Russian harpists, having worked out his own pedagogical method realized in numerous virtuoso pieces.Mchedelov's music is the cream of any performer's crop, abounding of everything desired by a harpist. The author is lavish in impetuous ample rolling recitatives along the sharp altered harmonies, full of dramatic effect and fleshy effusions. Here you arc the glaring scatterings as the sounding pointillisme, colours embodied in phonations.The lyrical sphere is represented by Mchedelov as the reminiscence of the harp's ancient origination. The cantilena seems to be drawn with the old fresco technique, however nourished with all kinds of spicy minor intonations. Meanwhile, Mchedelov provides his beautiful discoveries with useful devices, doing it so exquisitely as to protect the improvisation nature, inherent to harp.The miniatures are prepared to publication by our contemporary Irina Donskaya.The collection is intended for both mature harpists and beginners, in pedagogical and concert practice.ContentsThree preludesScherzino
