Music from the British Isles

[minacciosa]

Bowen wrote his own cadenzas for Beethoven's 4th Concerto; anyone seen it or have it?

Thank you Malcolm, for yet another huge collection of Bowen for us to enjoy.

York Bowen (1884 – 1961). Part 3 - next group of scores covering Op 61-90. This group is again well served on IMSLP although a couple are relatively poorer scans, so I have scanned my own copy of that work.

My warmest wishes to everyone across the Festive season. Enjoy !

York Bowen (1884 – 1961). Part 5, Op 120-160. A number of these works in this opus group have been republished through Weinberger.

Just to note – there are two page 1 for the Four Bagatelles (one greyscale, the other b/w) – this was because the original score had sellotape on it which had yellowed, and as such I was concerned that when scanned by b/w it would be difficult to see the notes.

The final part to this Bowen special will cover a number of the non-opus works (hopefully to post these by next weekend).

Thank you very much!

Nice Sonatina (do you know whether the dedicatee is the son of Denis?)

Quite unusual to have some polyphonic pieces by Bowen!
