Ernő Dohnányi - 6 Concert Etudes Op. 28 (audio + sheet music)
The Six Concert Etudes, Op.28 are bravura pieces for steel fingers and marathon stamina - from start to finish there is no time to catch a breath.
The first Etude's solemn, pounding melody, introduced at the beginning by the left hand, is literally showered by swift torrents of chords played initially by the right hand; the hands alternate in their roles, producing a spectacular effect.
In the second Etude, three groups of two sixths in one hand whizz by three groups of three notes in the other; the listener hears a coy, playful scherzo, while the pianist contends with a significant test of dexterity.
The third Etude deserves to be experienced not just aurally but also visually; the finger acrobatics, where the two hands play interlaced throughout, one under the other, are something ...

Ernő Dohnányi - Piano Quintet No. 1 in C minor Op. 1 [score + audio]
performed by Trio Nota Bene with Shmuel Ashkenasi (violin) and Nobuko Imai (viola) - http://www.trionotabene.ch/index.php?nav=11&subnav=18&sub=1
00:00 I Allegro

13:43 III Adagio, quasi andante
20:14 IV Finale. Allegro animato
"Opus 1” in a musical oeuvre is rarely considered as a really significant piece of the given composer’s works. It seems that the Hungarian composer−pianist Ernst von (Ernő) Dohnányi (1877−1960) belongs to the few exceptions: his Piano Quintet in C Minor, op. 1, had always been one of his most popular works. Dohnányi’s case, however, is a rather special one. Firstly, because he was an extraordinarily mature musical talent at the age of 17 when this Quintet was written. (We should add, though, that “Opus 1” was preceded by a great amount of j...

The Six Concert Etudes, Op.28 are bravura pieces for steel fingers and marathon stamina - from start to finish there is no time to catch a breath.
The first Etude's solemn, pounding melody, introduced at the beginning by the left hand, is literally showered by swift torrents of chords played initially by the right hand; the hands alternate in their roles, producing a spectacular effect.
In the second Etude, three groups of two sixths in one hand whizz by three groups of three notes in the other; the listener hears a coy, playful scherzo, while the pianist contends with a significant test of dexterity.
The third Etude deserves to be experienced not just aurally but also visually; the finger acrobatics, where the two hands play interlaced throughout, one under the other, are something unique that has to be seen to be believed.
Etude No.4 recalls the majestic march-like flavour of the first Etude; its insistent bass melody imbues the piece with both sadness and dignity.
Etude No.5 is a rush of demisemiquavers, an avalanche of sparkling musical frosting.
The sixth and final concert Etude, subtitled Capriccio, is the best known of the set, one of Dohnanyi's most popular piano solo compositions, and an enduring, favourite encore of virtuoso pianists everywhere.

Ernst von Dohnányi (Hungarian: Dohnányi Ernő 27 July 1877 – 9 February 1960) was a Hungarian composer, pianist and conductor. He used a German form of his name on most of his published compositions.
Variaitions on a Nursery Tune, Op. 25 (1914)
Introduction. Maestoso
Theme. Allegro
Variation I. Poco più mosso
Variation II. Risoluto
Variation III. L'istesso tempo
Variation IV. Molto meno mosso (Allegretto moderato)
Variation V. Più mosso
Variation VI. Ancora più mosso (Allegro)
Variation VII. Walzer (Tempo Giusto)
Variation VIII. Alla marcia (Allegro moderato)
Variation IX. Presto
Variation X. Passacaglia (Adagio non troppo)
Variation XI. Choral (Maestoso)
Finale fugato (Allegro vivace)
Victor Aller, piano and the Concert Arts Orchestra conducted by Felix Slatkin
The Variations on a Nursery Tune, Op. 25 is subtitled For the enjoyment of humorous people and for the annoyance of others.
Written in 1914, it captures the spirit of Romanticism, and manages to delight and enthrall in its sparkling piano writing and lush orchestral textures, and its wit in the treatment of the theme – the French nursery song Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman, otherwise known as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Like Dohnányi, Mozart also wrote variations on this nursery tune (K. 265/300e).
The Introduction is Wagnerian in its writing, with faux pathos, brasses blaring and strings thick and dense. The outline of the theme appears indistinctly but unmistakably in the horns, a hint of what is to come. After a long drawn-out conclusion which grows ever quieter while continually building the tension, we have a belch from the orchestra and a short pause, followed by a quiet restatement of the theme on the piano accompanied by pizzicato strings.
What follows is a witty, artful set of variations ranging from the innocent first variation to the romantic third variation, the scurrying sixth variation, the boisterous, overcooked waltz in the seventh variation and the pathos-laden tenth variation which alludes to the Wagnerian opening. Dohnányi treats the piano and orchestra as equals – every instrument is given its chance to shine.
Dohnányi alludes to many different works, or composers' distinctive compositional styles, in the piece. For instance, variation 8 suggests the march from the second movement of Tchaikovsky's "Little Russian" Symphony. Debussy is alluded to, with the ethereal harmonies of the 11th variation. Dohnányi pokes fun at nearly every composer his audience of 1914 would have been familiar with.

"Opus 1” in a musical oeuvre is rarely considered as a really significant piece of the given composer’s works. It seems that the Hungarian composer−pianist Ernst von (Ernő) Dohnányi (1877−1960) belongs to the few exceptions: his Piano Quintet in C Minor, op. 1, had always been one of his most popular works. Dohnányi’s case, however, is a rather special one. Firstly, because he was an extraordinarily mature musical talent at the age of 17 when this Quintet was written. (We should add, though, that “Opus 1” was preceded by a great amount of juvenile works.) And secondly, only in a special situation could a very first adult work from 1895 remain emblematic throughout a long, 20th-century musical career – namely if the compositional style did not change much, and if the composer used approximately the same post-romantic musical language in his whole life. Was Dohnányi an extreme conservative thinker, or simply an old-fashioned musician, or maybe a bravely independent creator? Whatever our judgment is, the fact is that his musical style seems to be somewhat anachronistic in its age, but at the same time, his works are of a very high quality. This stirring duality makes his person more and more interesting among the 21st-century music-lovers.
The Piano Quintet in C Minor was composed in Dohnányi’s first year at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He arrived there as a brilliant talent from his hometown, Pozsony (then rather Pressburg, now Bratislava, Slovakia), where he grew up in an intellectual and harmonic bourgeois family. His father, who navigated the son’s life in a strict though gentle way, did not allow Ernst to become a child prodigy, and tried to give his fabulously talented boy an ordinary life as long as he could. This job, however, was not easy: the seventeen-year-old musician was enthusiastically praised by his teachers, colleagues and audience, and the Piano Quintet in C Minor was even acclaimed by Johannes Brahms, who allegedly said that “nobody could write it better, neither did I”. Brahms’s reputed laudation became a crucial point in the reception of the Quintet: contemporary critics alongside with their recent colleagues agree that the piece is strongly influenced by Brahms, see for example its captivatingly intense and thick beginning. But it is not the only German maestro who appears in the young Dohnányi’s musical world. The greatest Hungarian composer, Béla Bartók, as a few-year younger friend and rival of Dohnányi drew attention to many reminiscences of the piece in a personal letter such as resemblances to certain Schumann- or Wagner-pieces. He must be right but these similarities do not really infect the genuineness of the piece: the almost combatively passionate climax of the main theme, the strikingly intimate tone of the second theme in the relative major, or the many enchantingly instrumentated moments (such as the pizzicato strings above the piano mixtures in the second theme) all seem to be deeply “true” for the listener. The only weaker point of the movement is provably its ending: the triumphant recapitulation of the major transformation of the first theme. Movements II and III, a volatile Scherzo and a perfectly-written Adagio, quasi andante also show well the young Dohnányi’s unforced link to the late-Romantic tradition. The finale is a large-scale musical buildup which is dominated by a youthfully dynamic main theme, full of exhilaration, and which ends, as a summary, with the Beethovenian recapitulations of some earlier themes of the previous movements

The finale is a large-scale musical buildup which is dominated by a youthfully dynamic main theme, full of exhilaration, and which ends, as a summary, with the Beethovenian recapitulations of some earlier themes of the previous movements
