If his career had not turned so decisively towards employment in the navy, Antipov would have continued composing after this last opus No. 13. He may have hoped to combine both activities like his maestro Rimsky-Korsakov did, and it just didn’t work out as well for him, but sadly, this and all further circumstances of his life and death remain unknown to us. Thus do these last miniatures, ‘Impromptu et Valse’ appear all the more precious to the performer and audience today, as they offer a glimpse of rare gems of Russian romanticism.

Hätte seine Karriere nicht einen dergestalt nachhaltigen Schnitt durch den Dienst in der Marine erfahren, Antipov hätte nach diesem letzten Opus Nr. 13 ununterbrochen geschaffen. Ob er gehofft hatte, gleich seinem Maestro Rimsky- Korsakov beide Aktivitäten genial zu vereinen, und es ihm hernach nicht gelang, sowie die weiteren Umstände seines Lebens und Todes bleiben uns leider verborgen. Umso wertvoller erscheinen diese beiden letzten Miniaturen, ‘Impromptu et Valse’, dem Interpreten und Publikum, indem sie uns einen Blick auf seltene Kostbarkeiten der russischen Romantik eröffnen.
