I've performed this on a concert comprised solely of 8H2P transcriptions. This one works tremendously well.oren segev wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2009 6:26 pm Chabrier-España 2 oianos-8 hands

The Naxos recording notes give some clues as to where to look. University of Louisville library appear to hold some of Bomhard's documents.Liubingbingpiano wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:59 am I'm looking for Moritz von Bomhard's "Die Fledermaus Waltzes" Opus 56,does anyone have it？
Many thanks.
The Philharmonic Piano Quartethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philharmo ... no_Quartet made its public début at a Lewisohn Stadium concert in New York in June 1949. Four pianists playing together must have been quite a spectacle. The reviewer, writing for the New York Times, stated that "the four young pianists brought freshness to their difficult medium, as well as precision, agility and some fairly successful attempts to obtain color contrasts". The four pianists were Ada Kopetz, Bertha Melnik, Max Walmer and John G. Scales. Two months before their first public performance, the Philharmonic Piano Quartet recorded in the 30th Street Studio of Columbia Records a very effective paraphrase on "Die Fledermaus" Waltzes, Op. 56, specially written for them by Moritz von Bomhard (1908-1996). Born in Germany, Bomhard received a law degree from the University of Leipzig and a music degree from the Leipzig Conservatory of Music. He moved to the United States in 1935, continued his studies at Juilliard and became a music instructor at Princeton University, where he also directed its orchestra and glee clubs. He eventually settled in Louisville where he founded Kentucky Opera and taught at the University of Louisville. His transcription for four pianos of Strauss's best known melodies, gives equal time to each of the four pianists to shine, and also combines the four instruments in an amazingly unifying way, giving the impression that there is only one large piano being played. The piece is pure fun.
