NIKITA MAGALOFF piano

Born in St. Petersburg in 1912, he began his studies in Finland (where he had taken refuge with his family after the 1917 revolution) under the guidance of Alexander Siloti, a pupil of Liszt and cousin and teacher of Rachmaninoff. He later moved to Paris, studied with Isidor Philipp, graduating at the age of 17 with a Premier Grand Prix. On this occasion, Maurice Ravel said of him: «A great, truly extraordinary musician has been born». He achieved his first international successes with violinist Joseph Szigeti and, after the interruption of the war years, was one of the first artists to play in Paris and then, in 1947, to give concerts in the United States. Numerous significant events marked his career, including the first performance of Prokofiev's «Seventh Sonata», the performance of Stravinsky's «Capriccio» under the composer's direction, tours in Europe, the USA, Japan, and Israel, frequent and regular presence on the juries of the most prestigious international competitions (Leeds, Warsaw, Brussels, Lucerne), attentive as he was to the emergence of new talents among the younger generations. He has recorded music by Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Weber, Stravinsky, Brahms, Granados, and, most recently, for Philips, the complete works of Chopin, an author of whom Nikita Magaloff is among the unsurpassed interpreters, a work he also presented, in cycles of five recitals, in all the most important European cities.

 

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) - Sonata in B-flat major D. 960. 

The Sonata in B-flat D. 960 is the last and undoubtedly the most important of Schubert's sonatas. From the surviving manuscript, we can precisely determine the date the sonata was completed: September 26, 1828. Less than two months later, on September 19, Schubert would conclude his brief earthly existence. He intended to dedicate these last creations to the celebrated virtuoso J.N. Hummel, but by the time the Sonatas finally saw the light ten years later, Hummel too had passed away. Thus, Diabelli, on his own initiative, dedicated them to Schumann, who had the merit of always believing in Schubert's genius and following the fate of his works (it was he, in fact, who rediscovered the manuscript of the Symphony in C major). This Sonata combines the beauty of its thematic material with a truly surprising formal fluidity. The first movement, with its solemn opening, is one of the broadest and most serene written by Schubert and appears devoid of those strong contrasts that usually characterize the initial movement. It should be noted in this regard that Schubert, even in his best moments, uses a less varied style of writing than Beethoven; his attention to the sonata form is also animated by less "intellectual curiosity". Yet, Schubert still manages to be original. In this first movement, for example, he achieves fascinating effects by presenting the theme against a harmonic background that changes each time, with tonal and expressive highlights of great effectiveness. This procedure does not greatly benefit the compactness of the work, but it must be acknowledged that it is precisely a typically romantic symptom to focus attention on a beautiful detail, rather than globally on the formal organization. After this broad and discursive Molto moderato movement, punctuated by pauses and trills in the bass part, recalling distant drum rolls, Schubert in the subsequent Andante sostenuto unfolds his intense lyricism, offering an amplified and solemn version of the Lied "Ständchen" (Serenade) written a few months earlier. Of note is the affinity of the motif appearing in the central section with the initial theme of the Sonata (Radcliffe) and, in the first and third sections, the use of the resonance pedal and the crossing of hands that allow different registers and timbres to resonate simultaneously: a technical solution rich in consequences that would extend to the impressionists (Rattalino). Another derivation from the thematic material of the first movement is found in the Allegro vivace con delicatezza (third movement), which is structured as a Scherzo with a rapid and delicate dance-like gait and a more compact Trio that has the appearance of a delightful "exercise" with a syncopated rhythm. The finale is a brilliant Rondò in which the vigorous flow of the discourse is periodically interrupted by a single note, a sustained G, which imposes a kind of brake on the main theme. Contrasting insertions are achieved with lyrical interludes and more dynamic and strong passages in the high register of the instrument. The conclusion with a spirited Presto closes this highly original last Schubertian creation which, despite the musical quality of the material with which it is shaped, has sometimes aroused reservations and misunderstandings.

Functional and Frosted! No Plastic Smell!
Color: Frosted, Size: 72"W x 78"L (Pack of 1)
This shower curtain liner from AmazerBath is exactly what I needed! It's short, to the point, and completely functional. The 72x78 size fits perfectly, and the frosted PEVA material adds a nice touch without being too distracting. I especially appreciate that it's made from sturdy material and doesn't have that loud plastic smell that some liners do. Highly recommend!

The curtain is not clear and does not stay clear if u have heavy water
Color: Clear Midnight, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
The shower curtain is okay, it’s nothing to brag about really. The shower curtain still does not stand clear due to the hardness of the water. I have to buy another shower curtain

Perfect for Tall Shower Curtains
Color: Clear, Size: 72"W x 84"L (Pack of 1), Color: Clear, Size: 72"W x 84"L (Pack of 1)
I honestly didn’t even know they made shower curtain liners this long, so I was really impressed when I found this. It fits perfectly with my extra long shower curtain setup and gives the bathroom such a nice look. I also love the three magnets on the bottom — they actually work and help keep the liner in place. It’s been holding up really well so far, especially for the price. Soap splashes on it all the time, but it rinses off easily and I haven’t noticed any staining or mildew issues. It is a clear see-through curtain so there is no privacy, but I’m pretty sure if you were supposed to get one of the color ones you would have privacy and it’s very easy to use very easy to install. Overall, a really good purchase and I would definitely buy it again.

Simple Shower Liner That Works Well
Color: 1a. Clear, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
This clear shower curtain liner does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The material feels flexible without being overly thin or flimsy, and it hangs nicely once installed. The three magnets at the bottom help keep the liner in place and reduce the amount of movement while showering, especially in tubs with metal sides. The reinforced top holes also seem durable enough to handle regular opening and closing without tearing. The clear design keeps the bathroom feeling brighter and more open compared to opaque liners. It’s easy to wipe down and clean as needed. Overall, this is a solid basic shower liner with good durability and useful magnetic weighting.
