Alfor's Rarities

[fleubis]

These PWM editions seem to have been edited by many different people yet maintain such a consistent high quality that one would never suspect it. Some guiding hand is there at PWM, and apparently not a famous pianist like Cortot or they'd be capitalizing on the name. It is nice to see the high standard established with the Chopin editions being carried out in this series. My one and only wish would be for complete sets, as in Chopin, rather than just extractions. For instance, the complete Debussy Preludes would be nice to have in a PWM edition, but the economics of publishing dictate otherwise.

...the complete Debussy Preludes would be nice to have in a PWM edition, ...

What I posted is from the series „MINIATURY FORTEPIANOWE“. So no complete cycles of works here. But let yourself be surprised...

Goodness! Musiclife217 has given us the whole list. Clearly PWM is selecting the most popular pieces and don't seem to be interested in what we would call a "complete edition", but what they have chosen to publish certainly leads to high expectations for the whole list.

Alfred, I really love the carefully edited "Jeux d'eau". Happy hunting!

oh my what I may have started here... there are indeed some great selections and I'd be curious to see the Polish ones, but we'll just have to see what is out there! I was not able to identify No. 128 in this series, but I will keep trying! Aside from that, I believe that is all!

No. 128 = Adagio h-moll K.V. 540 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ed. Zbigniew Drzewiecki

Thank you!

One think for sure: Alfred, you CONTINUALLY surprise us!

Estimado fleubis, un poco de Debussy para usted!

Debussy Preludia I PWM.pdf

The many asterisks placed above the bar lines have to do with pedaling - I forgot the exaxt context.
Anybody who can help with the translation??

Szamynowski Etude op. 4,3:
Has been transferred to the new topic:
MINIATURY FORTEPIANOWE PWM



We anyway need 26 pianophilians, each willing to type half a page of the commentary into Google translator!

Muchas gracias, Alfredo por de los Preludios de Debussy I

A sincerely welcomed edition, as the Preludes and the pieces you previously posted are what I mostly play. (Is volume 2 on the horizon?) I also see the mysterious asterisks above the bar lines. One would think they refer to something in the Polish commentary however my Polish linguistic skills are non-existent, and I cannot visually see any relationship to the asterisks and the commentary, so I claim ignorance here. Let's hope a English translation of the appears somewhere as they did for the Chopin edition.

Haven't played much Szymanowski in years, but leave it to you, Alfred, to find us a real tasty morsel.

More excellent posts--many thanks. I wonder if Polish OCR would work to facilitate translating the notes....

You are welcome!

I think each OCR programme would do. Google Translator does NOT need the special characters of the polish language!

Quite a piano-pourri! Thank you!

More pointedly, that's the famous El Choclo

Apologies for the old reply bump. I am aware several versions of this exist (I know of at least one other arrangement that was published, and a third that seems to be a freebie on IMSLP). I have seen a couple of performances that do not seem to be based on any of the scores I have come across. This one in particular is quite nice, and being that is featured on a DVD release, I wonder if anyone knows the arranger or how one might purchase this version (if it was published vs if she improvised it or if it was the pianist's own version). The CD description states they are arranged for her, but I do not see any credits for the person to laid it out....
"Twelve well loved Argentine Tango's...unique arrangements for this artist who loads these pieces with passion and power! Amazing recording by possibly the best Tango pianist alive today!"

or perhaps is it just a combination of improvised intro and then sticking to score for parts and then spinner her own in other places?
Thanks for looking and considering.

Why don't you send her an email and ask her?
