Thanks for the translation! I'm glad this is something new for the group. Here it is attached. Enjoy

All best,

A somewhat rare Lourie to re-kindle this thread from me [with special thanks to Duirton].

Berceuse de la Chevrette Malcolm

About time I rekindled this thread of mine: a small album of easy piano pieces by three composers:

M Osokin - Fugue in D minor [from his Op 23 set]

K Sorokin - Three Pieces [various sources]1. Waltz in D major 2. Merry Play [little fugue] 3. On the Sports-ground [etude]

R Ledenyov - Two Folksongs

Now completely out of sequence……Aleksey Nikolayevich Verstovsky. Born 1799, Selivyorstovo: died 1862, Moscow.

This link gives further detail on the composer’s life through wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Verstovsky

Mainly noted for his romances and music theatre works; although there are a handful of piano works including waltzes, mazurkas, a sonata, and a set of variations.

I have posted the Slavonic Dance , a concert transcription by Belov of themes taken from his opera Askold’s Tomb.

Hello All - After much searching my Paul Juon score finally turned up, and here it is. Six piano pieces, Op. 12. Juon seems to have written quite a bit of piano solo music, but finding any of it is terribly difficult! IMSLP and other sites seem to only have his chamber works. Please enjoy!

Juon's Praeludien und Capricen op. 26 (imho one of his best piano works):

Now back on familiar ground.......I know, in my meanders through the miscellaneous Russian & Soviet composers I am on the "R"s at the moment, but a few works I have picked up on my travels.

Rakov - Piano Sonata No. 2. I have covered Rakov to some depth already and although he wrote extensively for younger pianists, here is a more substantial work from this composer. Vyacheslav Aleksandrovich Ovchinnikov Born 1936, Voronezh. Conductor and composer. Graduated 1962 from the Moscow Conservatoire, where his teachers included Bogatyryov and Khrennikov. He also studied conducting with Anosova and Ginsberg (1960-62). Since 1962 has held several conducting positions in Moscow, and on Soviet/Russian radio & television. Alfor has previously posted a work by Ovchinnikov, but here is his somewhat rare Suite No 1 Op 3 [Chorus, Prelude & Fugue]. This score is in a handwritten, manuscript format but thankfully very neat handwritting ! Malcolm

Hello Friends,

Here is Op. 46 by Paul Juon - a set of two concert pieces. Enjoy!

All best,

Frank

Again, completely out of sequence...but then I like to keep things fluid.......Adrian Grigoryevich Shaposhnikov. Born 1887, St Petrersburg: died 1967, Moscow. Graduated in 1909 from the St Petersburg Institute, where he studied composition with Kalafati; further studies followed at the St Petersburg Conservatoire, where his teachers included N. Tcherepnine, Glazunov, Sokolov and Witol [he graduated from the conservatoire in 1913]. In 1937 settled in Turkmenia and became one of the first founders of professional music in that region – he wrote the first Turkmenian opera “Zokhre & Takhir”.

I have posted his somewhat substantial Sonatina from 1923.
