Anatoly Liadov (1855 –1914) was a well–known Russian composer and conductor, a master of miniature. Only a few of his compositions exceed fifteen minutes. His music breathes with poetry and charm, reaching out to the spirit of impressionism, but holding on to the romantic memory of Chopin and Schumann.Anastasya Terenkova
Prelude Op 31 No 2 (1893) is all about melancholy. It's a song without words, a simple and fragile melody that slides chromatically into sadness.Anastasya Terenkova
