The second movement from Anton Rubinstein's Piano Concerto no. 2 in F major, op. 35 is really great and I've been looking on the web for any comments on it --I don't seem to have been able to spot any so far. At around the 5 to 6th minute it has a romantic melody, very nice and very lyrical, that lasts only for just a little. It's such pieces, short élans of lyricism and beauty within musical pieces that are like little islands in the middle of the ocean and that, because of this, sound even mystical --another one, I recollect, in Mozart's last string quartets (Quator en ré mineur K421, second movement Menuetto [Allegretto]).--Wikichris 14:30, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I deleted this sentence from the biographical information: However, Rubinstein did not practice any religion at all (except for pantheism late in his life), and so anti-semitism could not apply (at least in any type of "religious" sense). It is almost outlandish to claim that anti-semitism was practiced only on a religious basis. --Maxn 17:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
