Underneath a surface of austerity and intellectual application that characterises a classical attitude towards his art, Medtner's music is found to be imbued with delicate poetic meaning. The piano is his favourite medium of expression. For this instrument alone and in conjunction with the voice he has written a piano concerto, many short pieces, and several sonatas.
