The latest update has a very major update of Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian composers, plus many additions in Ukrainian and Russian composers (i have added over 500 additional short biographies and increased details on work lists). As I have stated many times this will remain a lifetime project !

I also plan over the next couple of weeks to post a number of works by Tatar composers, which were discovered on a website by a friend and fellow member of Pianophilia, and to make it easier for everyone I have downloaded all works and changed all titles to English. All these works will either be for piano solo or Two Pianos (lots of transcriptions). The quality of the scans vary considerably from quite poor (but readable) to very good. But as many of these composers are relatively rare, it is good to have so many scores available. In a number of cases there may be several movements to a work and hence by using the Encyclopaedia, you can see the English translation of said movements.

Here's the second piece from Vrangel's Six Morceaux, Op.1 – the Chanson Naïve. Malcom kindly posted Nos. 1 & 3-6 a while back. See his post here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=44&p=9679#p9679
This now completes the set, although from a different edition.

Does anyone have a source for the MS of Rachmaninoff's Song without Words in d minor. (Is there an actual published version?) I ask as there exists a typeset version with at least one inconsistency. Besides an obvious missing natural (M4 B3 RH note A) there are several different recordings with a difference in the melody line – specifically the last F in M3 and the first F in M4. The typeset version doesn't indicate a sharp for these two notes and recordings seem to vary. To me playing these as F# seems right. I've attached the typeset version which appears to be identical to the one on IMSLP. Any info of the provenance of this piece? Thanks.

Two new uploads of piano music by Genary Korganov on IMSLP - the Rhapsodie caucasienne and 'Bayati' (Fantaisie sur les thèmes Caucasiens).

I once met Leman in Moscow in 1994 when there was a portrait concert at MGK. Malcolm -- thanks for these, and did you once meet my Tatar girlfriend?

A whole lot to enjoy here! Haven't had so much interesting music to look at in months. Quite enamored with Kiyucharov "Mysteries of the Forest Lake".
Thank you, Malcolm. Ah, the weekend ahead of playing through all these interesting pieces!
