Boris Goltz ‒ Scherzo in E Minor

Boris Goltz (1913 - 1942), Scherzo in E Minor Performed by Sergei Podobedov Boris Goltz (1913-42) is yet another tragic figure who died young as a result of war. Born in Tashkent, he moved with his family to Leningrad, where he attended the Central Music College. As a pianist he helped his family by accompanying silent films at the movie theaters. In 1934 he was admitted to the Leningrad Conservatory where he wrote these Preludes during his second year of study. The Scherzo, at only four minutes, a wild demonic rattling of bones in quest of a whirlwind conclusion. This wildness is present as well in many of the Preludes; they hold to Chopin's brevity without ever sounding like the Polish master. There is a glint of Rachmaninoff every so often but only enough to remind us of that master's domination of keyboard technique. How astonishing that music of this quality should remain unknown for so long.
