Jean Martin - piano

Stephen Heller (1813-1888) composed (more or less) exclusively for the piano in manner as thoroughly romantic as Schumann, Chopin and Liszt. His music isn't quite the equal of either of those, of course, but it is still far, far above the standard salon music of his day. Heller did have a knack for memorable melodies and knew what to do with them, and there are some gorgeous, exquisitve and truly inspired miniatures among his output (curiously his study pieces seem to be in general better represented than his concert works). His music is mostly poetic and lyrical, wistful and even introvert, downplaying the darker and more dramatic, and while it was popular in his day, that fact might have contributed to his relative neglect after his death. But again I hasten to add that while Heller hardly had the compositional range of Schumann (he is rather a musical equivalent of Watteau), there is nothing (well, not always, anyway) anything superficial about his lyricism. This is music of genuine beauty, half-lights and poetry, not without its shadows and subdued drama and with a very appealing yearning quality to it.
