He created five piano concertos between 1850 and 1874. Cultivating large instrumental forms, Rubinstein paved the way for the later peak achievements of Russian composers, particularly in the genre of the piano concerto. Among Rubinstein's concertos, the Fourth stands out, being included in the repertoire of Nikolai Rubinstein, Hans von B�low, Anna Esipova, Ferruccio Busoni, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and many other outstanding pianists. The concerto remains one of the composer's most frequently performed works to this day. His preceptors were A. I. Villuan (piano), S. Dehn (theoretical disciplines). Rubinstein hit all marks as the greatest pianist ever heard. That was true dramatic force and mighty stamina to have imbibed his piano style. "He was the most supernatural, brilliant executant, striking by spry spirit and inexhaustible poetical imagination, the one inherent to nobody but his elder contemporary and friend Liszt" - wrote V. V. Stasov, the Russian musical criticist. Anton Rubinstein is also distinct for his educational activity. Such institutions as Vocal Academy (1858), Russian Musical Society (1859), Petersburg Conservatoire (1862) - the first one in Russia - were founded due to Rubinstein's initiative. During the period of 1885-1886 there were held the cycles of "Historical Concerts" organized by Rubinstein via many European countries. Listeners had a chance to undertake the kind of excursion to the very birth of clavier music on the border of the 16th-17th centuries and follow the piano music evolution together with Rubinstein. The outstanding master's heritage embraces operas (secular and ecclesiastic ones), oratorios, the ballet, 6 symphonies, piano concertos, violin concerto, 10 string quartets, 5 piano trios, piano quintet, numerous vocal compositions and piano pieces. As to the five piano concertos they refer to the period of 1850-1874. Rubinstein seemed to "nurse" and nurture large-scaled instrumental forms thus anticipating the later apexes attained by the Russian composers in the piano concerto genre. The Fourth Concerto for piano and orchestra was marked by such distinguished executants as Nikolai Rubinstein, Hans von B�low, Anna Yesipova, Feruccio Busoni, Sergei Rachmaninov and others. Even nowadays it's widely and frequently performed. The Fourth Concerto in D minor op. 70 was written and first performed in 1864 and published in piano score in 1866. Subsequently, the author made a number of amendments (the texture of the piano part, the performance instructions, and also the orchestral part in the second half of the coda of the first part were changed in some places), which were included in the second edition (published in 1872). 9790660009062.
