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.

one fits, other too big
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy/Sage Green
The good: made with a nice fabric, a good weight and soft. Color for both shirts is what I expected. I wish I could keep just one shirt. The navy blue tank top fit perfect and was comfortable. Green, same size as the blue one, was uncomfortably big. Arm holes 2 whole inches larger than the blue top. This type of inconsistent sizing is frustrating.

Good quality, not sure on fit
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Mariner Stripe
I looked at the general comment on this top and it stated frequently returned due to loose fit. My measurements are close to size xl so I figured if they run large/loose then they would fit me fine. My bust is 46 1/2" and I probably should have gone xxl. The tops are snug across my breast and I will have to be adjusting so it does not pull a gap at the side of the arm pit area. However the top is not too snug, also not loose throughout the rest of the body so don't know how I would feel about a size larger. The quality is nice, medium weight cotton. No see through and no falling in creases. I hope washing these in cold and line drying will keep them from shrinking. I will keep these because I do like the quality and length but have not decided if I will order more or not.

Weirdest armhole proportions I've seen
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy/Sage Green, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy/Sage Green
There are a few nice things about these tanks -- I like the colors, there's a little extra length in the back, and the fabric is a thick quality fabric. I appreciate the fact they're 100% cotton and was looking forward to wearing these. Overall, the tanks fit as I would expect for the size. But what in the world is up with the dimensions for the arm holes? There is a significant amount of extra fabric that bunches up and looks awful (see photos) I've never had this happen on a tank top before, even one that's a size up. It's really strange and I'm disappointed that I can't keep these because of it.

Comfortable Sleep Tanks, Weird Fit for Daytime
Size: Small, Color: Hot Pink/Oatmeal Heather
These 100% cotton tanks are perfect tops to wear at home: soft, breathable, and great for sleeping or lounging. The pink is extremely bright (borderline highlighter), while the beige is a much more wearable, calm color. The fit is a little odd on me—something about the cut just doesn’t sit right—so I wouldn’t wear them out of the house, but as a comfy bedtime set of two, they do the job.
