I missed my close friend’s piano concert because I spent too long choosing which dinosaur-themed enamel pin to buy from a souvenir shop. I ended up choosing one of a t-rex eating a slice of pizza.

A magical evening in Amsterdam! We went to the Scheepvaartmuseum to enjoy a “lie down concert”, where live piano music is performed while the audience gets to lie down on air mattresses and experience the music in a different way than usual ✨

OTD in Music History: Composer, conductor, pianist, and pedagogue Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) makes his public debut as a concert pianist at the age of just 11, in Vienna, in 1822. Well… sort of. Liszt’s father had begun teaching Franz the piano at age seven, and Franz had begun composing in an elementary manner just a year later. Technically, he took part in a handful of concerts in present-day Slovakia in October and November 1820. After those concerts, however, a group of wealthy sponsors had offered to finance his further musical education in Vienna – and it was only after he had received two years of formal piano lessons from Carl Czerny (1791 - 1857), who was himself a former student of both Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 18287), as well as composition lessons with Antonio Salieri (1750 - 1825), who was famously Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756 - 1791) one-time “rival,” that Liszt considered himself to be a finished artist. Accordingly, Liszt always considered his inaugural concert in Vienna in 1822 to be the *true* start of his legendary concert career. (It is also worth noting that it was during his time studying in Vienna that the young Liszt had a chance to meet Beethoven, through Czerny… an event which he would often look back upon in later years as one of the most important experiences of his artistic life…) PICTURED: A c. 1890s cabinet photo showing a famous profile engraving of Liszt in his middle age. This particular photo has actually been signed and inscribed on the back by Pauline Apel, who served as Liszt’s housekeeper for thirty years in Weimar. When Liszt’s Weimar last residence (the “Hofgärtnerei”) was turned into a museum the year after his death, Apel stayed on and served as the official tourist guide. She remained in that capacity until her own death forty years later, at the age of 88, in 1926. She would occasionally sign items like this as mementos for visitors.

OTD in Music History: Russian virtuoso pianist and composer Nikolai Medtner (1879 - 1951) dies, in relative obscurity, in England.

A slightly younger contemporary of Alexander Scriabin (1871 - 1915) and Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943), Medtner left behind a substantial body of original work -- all of which includes the piano. His output include 14 piano sonatas, three violin sonatas, three piano concerti, two works for two pianos, a piano quintet, many shorter piano pieces, and over 100 songs. He is perhaps best known today for his "Skazki" ("Fairy Tales") for piano solo, a set of 38 character pieces.

Unlike his friend Rachmaninoff, Medtner did not leave Russia until well after the 1917 Russian Revolution. After he finally made the move, Rachmaninoff secured for Medtner a tour of the United States and Canada in 1924; these recitals were often all-Medtner evenings consisting of sonatas interspersed with songs and shorter pieces. Despite the success of that tour, however, Medtner never adapted himself to the commercial aspects of touring and his concertizing thereafter became infrequent. Esteemed in England, he settled in London in 1936, where he spent the rest of his life teaching, practicing piano, and composing.

PICTURED: An early edition of the sheet music to the first piece from Medtner's "Drei Arabesken" ("Three Arabesques," 1905), "Idyll." The "Three Arabesques" are an early set of character pieces written while Medtner was still living in Russia. Medtner has signed this copy on the cover, and the former (presumably first) owner has added the following interesting indication of history and provenance next to his signature: "[Medtner signed this copy h]ere [on] Jan. 30 / 42 B[irming]ham, [England,] when Muriel sang a group of his songs, Edna Iles, piano." It is also stamped "H.H. Lumby, Violinist, Pianist."
