Bortkiewicz - Elegie in C-sharp major, Op. 46

[cherub_rocker1979]

One of my favorite Bortkiewicz pieces.

Hi cherub-rocker,

Thanks for posting the "Elegie"!  What a gorgeous piece, isn't it?  This Elegie expresses sorrow, but at the same time great hope.  The theme has a noble quality to it too.  I definitely sense a Rachmanioff influence in this one.  You do a great job performing it too--very capable, thoughtful and evocative playing. 

The Edition Peters came to me a few days ago.  At the moment I'm occupied with the Prelude, Op. 33, No. 8, also posted just today by counterpoint.  I hope to get to the Elergie in the near future.

Again, a really fine rendition!
