Nicholas Medtner: An Appreciation

View through CrossRef
In the long history of art there are those, who, living before their time, have been mainly ignored or derided. Others, like Dussek, have all unknowing, anticipated something of the composers to come. Yet another, like Mozart (the least original Great Master), by adding to and enriching the music of his age, has brought it to a noble climax.Conversely, there are others, who, fancying they can ignore the past, experiment with artificial formulae in a vain endeavour to by-pass evolution.
