This Romance by Anton Rubinstein is in the same genre. He too was known both as a composer and performer, ranking as one of the greatest pianists of his time. Educated in Moscow, this child prodigy gave his first public performance at the age of nine and then embarked on his first foreign tour. He travelled to Paris, where he met Franz Liszt, who offered advice and encouragement. International appearances made Rubinstein increasingly well-known both as a pianist and composer. His musical legacy is vast, encompassing stage works, chamber music and symphonic works, vocal pieces and piano music. His Romance, originally for piano solo, comes from the collection Kamennoi-ostrow (‘Rocky Islands’) with the subtitle ‘Album of portraits for piano’, op. 10 dating from 1854. Like his more famous Melody in F, this Romance is a charming character piece. Edition based on plate nos. 02382 (piano part) and 02381 (violin part), first published in 1896 as plate no. 25957.
