| Alfred Grünfeld (1852-1924): Chopin - Mazurka in B min op.33 |
 |
Grünfeld was the first pianist of
significance (excluding Brahms's rather
opaque 1889 cylinder) to make any kind of
recordings, which he commenced in 1899.
He left recordings of works by Bach, Chopin,
Schumann, Grieg, Debussy, Liszt, Brahms and
others; but Grünfeld was known primarily as
a provider of light entertainment music in
Vienna, and his arrangements of Strauss's
music are his most famous and enduring
legacy.
His expertise at performance of other more
serious music is not widely appreciated: even
in his own time he was deprecated as not
being a performer of "serious" music. Only
those who knew him best wrote of his great
skill at performing the music for which he
was not generally well known. He was in fact
the foremost pianist in Vienna in the later
1800s and into the early 20th century.
Here I hope a few recordings may convince
that this was a very fine pianist indeed,
fully expressing many 19th century techniques
(eg. the rubato and non-synchronisation of
the hands) and expressive attitudes to the
music. Note especially the very particular
facility Grünfeld had at producing elegant,
lilting rhythms.
This recording of Chopin's Mazurka in B minor
op.33 no.4 was made in 1905.

| Grunfeld Schlummerlied Schumann Rec. 1913 |
 |
The first notable pianist to record, Alfred
Grunfeld (1852-1924)was a pupil of Theodore
Kullak and a friend and colleague of
Brahms,Johann Strauss Jr. and Leschetizky.
Wrongly often concidered to be a "salon
pianist," his programs included late
Beethoven Sonatas and rarely heard (at that
time ) Schubert. His playing was praised by
von Bulow and the notoriously hard to please
critic, Hanslick.
