I remember reading an interview with Joseph Brodsky, where he said that he doesn’t know any writers or poets who were incredibly talented, being unpublished in vivo. That may be correct in regard to composers either. But what is really bad, despite works of many of them were praised for some time, now they are overlooked. This happened to William Sterndale Bennett, one of the most innovative and passionate Romantic composers. Bennett doesn’t have a tenth of fame of his contemporaries, and it’s a real shame – I believe that his Piano Concerto No.4. Barcarole is just amazing. Sheet music of this piece is available for download here: Piano Concerto No.4. Barcarole.
