Nikolai Medtner was born in Moscow on January 5, 1880 and died in London on November 13, 1951. His life span overlapped the lives of fellow Russian composers Alexander Skryabin (1872-1915), Sergey Rakhmaninov (1873-1943), and Sergey Prokofiev (1891-1953), all of whom were prolific composers of solo piano music. Medtner also composed a large body of piano works which include fourteen sonatas, thirty-three skazki (Fairy Tales), and various other pieces. However, unlike the works of his countrymen, the music of Medtner has all but disappeared from the concert hall. The intent of this paper is to discover reasons why this music is not being performed today and to give substantive evidence that the neglect of Medtner's compositions is an unfortunate oversight by today's pianists. A survey of the bibliographic sources of Medtner show the need for this study. There is very little written about Medtner (especially in English), and the majority of the sources are from the early twentieth century. There are no substantial writings devoted to the Fairy Tales. The introductory portion of this study will include a biography of the composer, a discussion of The Muse and Fashion, a book written by Medtner which expresses his philosophy about music and its creation, and an brief overview of Russian composers who preceded him. The bulk of the paper will then focus on a detailed survey of the thirty-three Fairy Tales.
