Wilhelm Taubert: Lyrische Stücke, Op.106: 1 - Gruß in die Ferne

In 2011 the bicentenary of Liszt's birth was rightly celebrated. However, the bicentenaries of two other once-important composers - Wilhelm Taubert and Ferdinand Hiller - also born in 1811 received much less attention. Taubert spent much of his professional life in Berlin, where he composed, conducted and performed. Although he wrote six operas, concerti, orchestral, chamber and piano music, he is remembered today chiefly for his songs. He studied piano with Ludwig Berger, who also taught Mendelssohn, who was a friend and supporter of Taubert. Indeed, Taubert was writing pieces in a similar style to Mendelssohn's 'Songs without Words' at about the same time as Mendelssohn, and possibly earlier. Taubert's four Lyric Pieces from 1856 predate those of Grieg - maybe he was the originator of the genre? They use a similar piano technique to Mendelssohn's shorter pieces - but maybe add a little more romantic angst (Taubert lived twice as long as Mendelssohn). I am not sure of the correct translation of the title - literally ' Greetings in the distance ' . It may really mean 'Greetings to a distant one'. I am pleased to see that I am not the first to introduce Taubert to YouTube, as PTNA (    / ptna   ) have uploaded performances of various other piano works to their channel.
