Pianophilia

Thank you Jim.....a very useful site towards some research I am currently undertaking with Georgian composers.

Another work by Gudiashvili - his Piano Sonata No. 1 (1975)

And here is the piano sonata no. 2 by Gudiashvili.

Here is my last work by Gudiashvili - his Sonatina No. 1 (c. 1950)

Thank you for the Gudiashvili pieces, Malcolm. Gave me something totally unexpected to play through today.

Otar Mikhailovich Gordeli. Born 1928, Tbilisi : died 1994, same. Georgian pianist and composer. Graduated in 1951 from the Tbilisi Conservatoire, where he had studied piano with Virsaladze, and composition with Tuskiya. Completed post-graduate work in 1955 with Bogatyryov at the Moscow Conservatoire, then joined the faculty of the Tbilisi Conservatoire from 1959, assistant professor from 1972 and full professor from 1982. Beyond his teaching responsibilities, from 1967-1990 he was the chairman of the Musical-Choreographic Society of Georgia and then as a director of Zakhariy Paliashvili's house museum in Tbilisi.

Beautiful The reverie!! Thanks for sharing!!

Wonderful little Suite! Many thanks!

I don't know if someone else has posted this link here: the Parliamentary Library of Georgia has digitized almost 1000 scores from obscure composers from Georgia and around. Navigating them is quite messy but possible

An example: Grigol Kokeladze - Ten Piano Pieces

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I can barely read any Georgian but Google Translate can read way more! Also, several of the publications' titles/authors are also displayed in Russian, which I can read. I will see about putting together a list of links for the works. It appears they scanned everything in color, so the files are huge!

The Georgian scores I have been sharing are from that site - but be warned the vast majority are choral or vocal works (probably 1 piano work for 30-40 vocal works) - and I will try to post all the piano one's here on PP eventually. So you can either access direct or be patience. I am also getting the file size reduced as I go along, because as Caostotole states, they are extremely big. I am also translating into English as well, which will save everyone time and effort !
