A simple and beautiful valse by russian composer Titov. I uploaded it also because I think it's a good piece for teachers, attractive and not too hard. A good introduction to romantic valse music. Thus a link to the score • https://ale07.ru/music/notes/song/for... • Nikolai Alexeyevich Titov (Russian: Николай Алексеевич Титов, born St. Petersburg, 10 May 1800 - St. Petersburg, 22 December 1875) was a Russian composer, violinist, and Major General in various regiments during the 19th century. He is considered to be the Grandfather of the Russian Romance. • His compositional style was considered to be in the pre-classical orientation, thus setting the groundwork for the developments by Glinka and his contemporaries. He is considered to be one of the most popular romance composers of the 19th century. His songs were praised for their homely sensibility and ruminative harmonic language, albeit encased in simple yet effect forms that appealed to the at-home Amateurs and seasons musicians alike. His repertoire can still be heard today. • Around the 1830s, Titov made his acquaintance with two, more well-known Russian composers, namely M. Glinka and A. Dargomyzhsky. Titov would routinely ask them for advice regarding compositional qualms and career troubles. Right from the initial meeting, the two had become in favor of the soldier-turned-composer/Patron and enjoyed his compositions. Titov's relationship with another progenitor of the Russian romance style Alexander Varlamov, was matured to the point that Varlamov had dedicated his romance The Vagrant's Nightingale to his buoyant and genuine friend. His demeanor was one of a youthful glow and he shared a sincere devotion to the Russian national consciousness. Thus, when the Russian taste started turning towards Italian sensibilities and foreign operatic styles, he mourned the lack of attentive noticings of the [now] historically recognized composers such as his two, original colleagues and mentors Glinka and Dargomyzhsky: • All that is ours, Russian, dear, we do not know how to value it, and to our shame we incense and worship everything foreign... But the time will come when the worthy will be rewarded worthy.
