Pianophilia

James Friskin Re thank you Grove
(b Glasgow, March 3, 1886; d New York, March 16, 1967). Scottish pianist and composer. At the age of 14 he won a scholarship to the RCM, London, studying the piano with Dannreuther and Hartvigson, and in 1905 a composition scholarship with Stanford. His compositions, notably the Piano Quintet (1907), received early recognition. He taught at the Royal Normal College for the Blind (1909–14) and in 1914 went to the USA to teach the piano at the DKG Institute of Musical Art and later at the Juilliard School. A noted Bach interpreter, he gave the first American performance of the Goldberg Variations (1925). His compositions include piano, choral and chamber works, but his development as a composer was curtailed by teaching responsibilities. In 1944 he married the English composer and viola player Rebecca Clarke. Rare scan I did from my collection today before the score disintegrates on me

Thanks for sharing.

This pair of nice etudes are musically interesting while working on ones legato 3rds and 6ths.....and not the endless scales one often encounters- IMSLP has Op.28 No.2 of the six etudes in the set--another worthwhile etude. Let's keep our eyes out for the remaining five in this Op.28 set--the titles alone look interesting.

Yes, thanks for this Malcolm. I have the first etude of Op. 28, and have been meaning to upload this for a couple of years, but not gotten round to it

Sorry for necroing this old topic but do you still have the the op. 28 no. 1 (in A minor?)? I've been looking at the 6th in F minor for quite some time now and would be interested in seeing more from this composer. / Adam Englund

HI all,

Where can I find that Köhler's work marked in red?
Thanks.

Franklin Taylor curated a massive collection of progressive studies/etudes. Here is one that I managed to discover. Does anyone have any more info on this?

Taylor, Franklin-Progressive Studies for the Pianoforte Book 28-Shakes (Part I)

Thank you, Musiclife.
Part I of Book 28 ! Yes, it must be a massive collection.
The last etude by Cramer is not complete, but is perhaps continued in part II.
Never heard of this.

I think Book 28 is Part 1 of the Shakes/Trills. Maybe Book 29 is Part 2 of the Shakes/Trills.
I'm glad that you find it interesting! I will do some more research.

Taylor was a Student of Moscheles and Clara Schumann. He was also a teacher at RCM.
I don't know this collection's volumes total but I saw Vol.37 for sale!

An early work from Emanuel de Beaupuis (1860-1913),who I have posted about on other threads, subtitled Etude de légéreté

I've reset the work and updated the fingering from +1234 to 12345 notation.
