Unfortunately Tony, I think that it's not currently available. Apologies if I raised false hopes.

Alexander TCHEREPNIN
Message op. 39 (ed. I. Philipp)
one of the rare longer pieces of T.

Tcherepnin Message op.39.pdf

Once on the forefront of modern composers, today virtually forgotten; so it may appropriate to post this one as an example of the composer's piano style:
Heinz TIESSEN (teacher of Eduard Erdmann)
Drei Klavierstücke op. 31 (excellent! The last two are witty "bird pieces")

Tchererpnin is more than always welcome! Thank you.

to parag, with compliments:

Sigismund THALBERG
L'ART DU CHANT APPLIQUE AU PIANO op. 70
1re Serie No. 4 AIR D'EGLISE du celebre chanteur STRADELLA (from original edition)

Josef SUK
Chanson d'amour op. 7 No. 1 (from original Urbanek edition)

Suk Chanson d'amour op.7,1.pdf

Fibich's famous "Poeme" in XXL size! An afterthought to Suk's Serenade for strings op. 6.
One of the best examples of the genre "noble salon-piece"
Most effective! In German I simply would say: a wonderful "Schmachtfetzen"!***
***Tear-jerker (weepie) - although not 100% identical with the meaning of the german word
("schmachten" = to sigh for)

Robert KAHN
Variationen
Rare! Most probably an early work of a gifted, but eclectic composer; Mendelssohn-Schumann influence.

Thanks a lot Alfred! Even Kahn is quite something... from the wikipedia article it seems like way too many of his piano works are still unpublished.

Regards,
Parag

Thank you a lot, Alfor. I do not understood the Fibich part, but I'm a little off today...

Arthur WILLNER (Jewish-Bohemian composer; like a couple of colleagues he in 1938 emigrated to England. Once in high esteem as a composer and editor, he is virtually forgotten today and there is hardly anything done to re-establish his work.)
Tanzweisen op. 25 II. Heft

Max PAUER (son of Ernst who taught his son and for a while also Eugen d'Albert, who always had to take the Secondo part when playing four hands with Max)

Thank you once again Alfor. Do you know if there is any recording of Willner works? Since I have an huge bulk of pieces for piano in my secret folders the bigger issue one finds about the pieces, and mainly yours and malcolm for being so rare, is that you can't find recording of the majority of the pieces, and you do not have time to play them all by your own....
