Relayed from
St. Andrew's Hall, Glasgow Medtner is regarded rather as an adherent of the classical tradition, as in touch with the spirit of Brahms, than as a typical Russian of the modern school. There is very little of the national idiom in his music, nor would it readily identify him as a compatriot either of Scriabin or Stravinsky.
