List of works by Nikolai Yakovlevich Myaskovsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikolai Myaskovsky (1912)

The composer Nikolai Jakowlewitsch Mjaskowski published his compositions under the opus numbers 1 to 87, about 40 works without an opus number and 10 arrangements of works by other composers are known. The list here is based on the list by S. Gulinskaja, Onno van Rijen and the official Mjaskowski website.

The sources are sorted as follows: Onno van Rijen assigns the works without an opus number and the arrangements of works by other composers to contemporary works as an addition (e.g. 6A), the early works are summarized under Opus 0. The list below is based on this sorting. Gulinskaja uses numbering from 1 to 40 for the works without an opus number, the arrangements of works by other composers are listed under numbers 1 to 10. These designations are given in brackets after the opus number in the list below. The official Mjaskowski website does not use numbering for works without an opus number, the arrangements of works by other composers are listed under T1 to T10. These designations are given in brackets after the opus number in the list below. Works that are only included in this list are included in the list below without an opus number.

Overview

Mjaskowski's opus includes the following works:

The works can be chronologically structured as follows:

Early phase:

The works of the early phase are strongly based on the music of Russian Romanticism . They were written between 1896 and 1906 before Mjaskowski entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory . The composer later incorporated many of the largely unpublished works into other pieces.

Time at the Conservatory and before the First World War :

The works, which were created between 1906 and 1914, bear, according to Mjaskowski's own statement, the “stamp of deep pessimism”. Most of them are study works and first published compositions.

After the First World War:

In the compositions that were written immediately after the First World War, Mjaskowski processed his experiences from the front and the civil war . The composer had his first successes with the performance of a number of symphonic works. His most important composition, the Sixth Symphony in E flat minor, Op. 23 , also dates from this period . During this phase the music becomes more and more experimental and sometimes atonal .

Before World War II :

From around 1932 onwards, Myaskovsky responded to the demands of socialist realism . His music becomes more romantic again and is characterized by simple melodies. During this time, Myaskovsky had already consolidated his reputation as a composer and teacher in Moscow.

Escape and World War II:

When Russia entered the Second World War, Myaskovsky fled to the interior of Russia and learned about many folk songs of the Russian peoples. He processed these in his works.

Last years:

In recent years, Mjaskowski's musical language has become very melancholy. As the only one of those who were exposed to the formalism charge in 1948, he did not apologize publicly. Nevertheless, he quickly rehabilitated himself and his 27th Symphony in C minor, Op. 85 , his last symphonic work, was performed posthumously and in memory of him in 1950.
