From 'Les Rêves', 5 Mélomimiques. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebikov (1866-1920) conceived the Mélomimique as a new art-form, blending music with pantomime (although not intended to be physically moved to), and he wrote several sets around 1900. Of the five pieces in the set, this is perhaps the most harmonically conventional, although the unresolved ending is quite 'cutting-edge' for the time, and typical of the composer. Rebikov provides the following scenario (my translation): "A fisherman sleeps in his boat, and dreams that a naiad (a water-spirit) sings him a son." For more on Rebikov, see http://www.pytheasmusic.org/rebikov.html . I couldn't find quite that image for my thumbnail, but have settled upon an engraving of a scene from Pugni's 1843 ballet 'The Naiad and the Fisherman' (source: The Marius Petipa Society: https://tinyurl.com/y84dv8hf ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
