Postludium Op 53 No 2

A piano piece that with its short dynamic markings fits the organ well and with a mood that provides a Postludium to a troubled world.

Felix Mikhailovich Blumenfeld 19 April 1863– 21 January 1931) was a Russian and Soviet composer and conductor of the Imperial Opera St-Petersburg, pianist, and teacher.

He was born in Elisavetgrad, which was in 2016 renamed to Kropyvnytskyi (in present-day Ukraine). He studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and piano under Fedor Stein between 1881 and 1885. He then taught piano there himself from 1885 until 1918, whilst also serving as conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre until 1911.

As a pianist, he played many of the compositions of his Russian contemporaries. His own compositions, which showed the influence of Frédéric Chopin and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, include a symphony, numerous pieces for solo piano, an Allegro de Concert for piano and orchestra, and lieder. His virtuoso pieces for piano in particular have enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years.
