Anton Rubinstein Melody in F
on: May 26, 2003, 10:12:09 AM
Hi all

What is the 'Melody in F' by Anton Rubinstein? Just a nice theme, or a piano/orchestra concerto? Is there a piano solo version? Do you know specific scores?

Many thanks for every piece of information,
Dominik.

Melody in F is the title of a piano solo piece by Rubinstein. We would normally refer to a piece by saying the key, Like Waltz in E minor. But in this case, maybe Rubinstein had trouble giving it a title, its just called it "Melody in F". And of course, it is a piece with a nice Melody in the key of F major.
It is probably Rubinstein's most famous piece.

Hi Dominik!

I have the score for this piece and I can scan and send it to you if you are interested.  You can also download it from the web.
