Mischa Levitzki Chopin Liszt Ravel Glebov 1928
The Enchanted Nymph (published without opus number in 1928), subtitled ‘A Poem for Piano’, is Levitzki’s attempt at a larger-scale piano piece and is something of a miniature ballade. The manuscript bears the title The Enchanted Grove, which Levitzki subsequently crossed out in favour of the published title, indicating that the musical content gave rise to the programmatic title, rather than the other way around. A voice singing out on the water is clearly depicted in the opening theme in the key of F sharp major, thus sharing harmonic affinity with other notable ‘water-musics’ for the piano, such as Chopin’s Barcarolle and Liszt’s Jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este. A short transition leads to the rather incongruous presentation of a contrasting middle section in waltz form. Levitzki was obviously most comfortable writing in this style, and the music is delectable even if its dramatic relationship to the main theme is elusive. A quotation from his own Waltz, Op. 2, can be heard in passing. The main theme returns with a more elaborate presentation of the accompanying arpeggio figures and mounts to a dramatic climax reminiscent of Ravel’s Ondine (another ‘water piece’) before settling into a calm ending.
