List of compositions by Viktor Kosenko
This is a list of compositions by Viktor Kosenko, who composed about 250 works in various genres. His piano music may be considered post-romantic, containing eclectic elements of musical nationalism. Although a particular folk song has never been directly cited in his work, his melodic and harmonic lines are definitely associated with Ukrainian folk songs, and also with the Dorian, Lydian, and Phrygian mode used extensively in his compositions. Kosenko left a dozen works that are included in the hall of Ukrainian piano music. Among these are his Eleven Études in the Form of Old Dances, Op. 19, and Twenty-four Pieces for Children, Op. 25, which grew generations of young pianists. After his death, many of his other works, if not in manuscript, have been published only recently.
Both tables (works with and without opus number) are sortable by title, key, tempo and mood markings (if applicable), year of production or publishing (when applicable), and non-sortable by opus number (some do not have one), name, image (scores), genre, notes and references. This line _____ functions as a chronological divider for three parts of Kosenko's life (his early works, the time he spent in Zhytomir, and the one spent in Kiev) when his compositions are sorted by year.

Additional information
Notes
- ^ Prelude → Prelude No. 7 has never been published and the original score is kept at the manuscript department of the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The existence of an original score where Prelude No. 1 in F-sharp minor goes accompanied with the inscription No. 7 may imply that the three preludes in question here have been gathered under a single title by the publisher.
- ^ Song → These compositions were written during the time that Kosenko was still a student in the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. Romances No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 remain in manuscript. Romance No. 4 was written over verses by Konstantin Balmont.
- ^ Prelude → All four preludes were written in minor keys. A strong influence of Scriabin's second period can be heard here, not only in its chromaticism but also as for the use of unstable intervals and dissonant harmonies. Only prelude No. 1 was published, the other three pieces remain in manuscript.
- ^ Mazurka A composition of Kosenko's early career where his music still sounds pretty much Chopinesque. Three Mazurkas, Op. 3 is among Kosenko's best known works.
- ^ Minuet A loose composition written in 1919.
- ^ Nocturne-Fantasia A composition much influenced by the works of Chopin.
- ^ Morceau → Duo for violin and piano.
- ^ Morceau → Poem No. 2 is in manuscript. No. 3 is entitled "Exhortation (Appeal), and has Molto Agitato for tempo marking written on the original score."
- ^ Concerto → One of Kosenko's two concertos, for violin (1919) and piano (1928).
- ^ Song → A composition part of Kosenko's cycles of romances on verses of Russian and Ukrainian writers such as Fyodor Tyutchev, Pavlo Tychyna, etc. Songs No. 1, No. 4, and No. 5, for bass and piano, No. 6, and No. 8 (manuscript), were written to the verses of Alexander Pushkin, being that song No. 6 'Berceuse' was later transcribed for piano solo by Aleksandr Iokheles. Song No. 2, for soprano and piano, was written to the verses of Viktor Strazhev. Song No. 3, for soprano and piano, to the verses of W. Zalizniak. Song No. 7, for soprano and piano, to the verses of Alexander Blok, being it later also concert-transcribed for piano solo by Aleksandr Iokheles. Song No. 9 to the verses of P. Beranże. Song No. 10, for mezzo-soprano and piano, to the poem Otchego (1840) of Mikhail Lermontov, having this text also been used by composers Mily Balakirev, Aleksandr Dargomyzhsky, Alexander Krein, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Song No. 11 was written to the verses of Vladimir Sergeieevich Likhachev (1849-1910), and song No. 12, for mezzo-soprano and piano (manuscript), set to the verses of Arseny Golenishchev-Kutuzov.
- ^ Song → Concert transcription of Berceuse arranged for piano solo by A. Iokheles.
- ^ Étude → Compositions for piano solo. No. 2 is entitled "Melancholy", and No. 11 "May Day Holiday".
- ^ Morceau Consolation Op.9 No. 1 was written in 1921 and is by far the most recognizable piece of the three. This composition with four big arpeggios at the end is not quite two pages long, but it is very soothing to listen to.
- ^ Sonata → Duo for cello and piano.
- ^ Morceau Poem Tragic is a lost composition which presumably might have been written in C-sharp minor like the other two.
- ^ Morceau Two Poem-Legends, Op. 12, is one of Kosenko's best known compositions, having been recorded and performed quite a few times in modern repertoire. The original published score reads 20.XII.1921 (Житомир - 'Zhytomyr.)
- ^ Sonata → One-movement composition.
- ^ Sonata → Three-movement composition.
- ^ Sonata → One-movement composition.
- ^ Song → A composition part of Kosenko's cycle of romances. No. 1 set to the verses of Konstantin Dmitriyevich Balmont, No. 2 and No. 3 to the verses of Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev. Song No. 4, for soprano and piano, set to the verses of Nikolay Platonovich Ogarev, No. 5 to the verses of Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, and No. 6 to the verses of Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin.
- ^ Song → A composition for voice and piano set to verses of Pavlo Tychyna. Romance No. 1 is also known by Na Maidani (Na Maidani Kolo Tserkvy = On the Square by the Church). The trasliteration of song No. 1 is Mobilizuiutsia Topoli.
- ^ Piano trio → Trio for violin, cello and piano.
- ^ Sonata → Duo for violin and piano.
- ^ Étude → Kosenko described this work as a "family album", having he dedicated selected pieces to members of his family, such as Rigaudon to his nephew Fedir, and Passacaglia to his wife Anna.
- ^ Song → A composition part of Kosenko's cycle of romances set to the verses of Alexander Pushkin. Romance No. 1 was written for soprano and piano, and No. 2 for bass and piano. No. 4 for medium voice and piano accompaniment with transcription by Maksym Rylsky. Romance No. 3, for double bass, baritone and piano, was written over a Scottish folk song with verses by Alexander Pushkin.
- ^ Overture → For orchestra
- ^ Waltz Two Concert Waltzes is also one of Kosenko's best known works.
- ^ Concerto → This piano concerto was written in three parts by the composer, but during World War II some of his notes were lost, remaining intact only the first part. The second and third parts were saved only in small details to be later finished by composers Revutsky and Maiboroda in 1937, although some sources also mention the name of A. A. Kolomiyts. Arranged for two pianos.
- ^ Song → Compositions for bass and piano set to the verses of Alexander Pushkin.
- ^ Étude Twenty-four Pieces for Children (also 24 Pieces for Children), Op. 25, is one of Kosenko's three A-number one creations along with Op. 8 and Op. 19. It is still an obligatory set of compositions written specifically for children learning the piano in conservatoires and piano schools across the country.
- ^ Symphony → This symphonic composition, which Kosenko never heard performed, was written during the time that he was professor of the Kiev Conservatory. It became part of the classic heritage of Ukrainian music.
- ^ Morceau → After Kosenko's death many of his works remained in manuscript. Muzyczna Ukraina lists this manuscript as lost.
- ^ In manuscript only.
- ^ Song → A composition for voice and piano. Song No. 3 set to the verses of V. Molchanov.
