Music from the British Isles

Dear Alfred,
Bridge's Bridge Zoroida is actually a piece I remember hearing live some decades ago (!). Very nice to hear it again. It seems to show a strong Debussy influence, but Bridge stretches the tonality quite a bit further without breaking the key sense and becoming atonal.

I am seeking the piano solo version of Wilfred Sanderson's Sincerity (Sincerité) - there is a cello/piano version on IMSLP. Other than the large national libraries, does anyone have this or know of a volume in which it lies? Any help is "sincerely" appreciated!

I just noticed that our own PSear has played this lovely piece on his channel! I am still looking for the score, if anyone is in touch with him or has it - it would be much appreciated! Thanks for any help!

Many thanks.

No problem Jim.
I've now also added it onto IMSLP, where a bit more information is given about the piece.

The last remaining opus-numbered piano solo work by William Sterndale Bennett
not previously available on the internet is now on IMSLP.
It's his Allegro Grazioso Op18, which I think is one of his most charming pieces.
(If the work isn't on the composer's page yet, it soon will be. It shows in
the list of the most recent 500 changes.)

Thanks for your efforts. I see that your edition shows this as Op.18, while the version in Volume 1 of this 2 volume Sibley collection:

http://hdl.handle.net/1802/1372

reflects Op.18 No.3. Any ideas what the remaining 2 (or more) pieces might be? Garland put out a complete piano works reprint edition about 30 years ago but I've not seen a copy.

The 2 volumes linked to above were split into individual files on IMSLP some time ago, but for whatever reason the AG was omitted.

Thanks again.

Jim, thank you for drawing my attention to the Sibley files.
Not being a great fan of selected pieces, I'd completely overlooked
the contents of these two albums.

Having said that, the attribution of Op18 No3 is incorrect.

The Allegro Grazioso Op18 is the only piece comprising his 18th opus.
So Op18 No1 and Op18 No2 don't exist, and this so-called Op18 No3
is Op18 without any further qualification.

I've double-checked this information in my copy of William Sterndale
Bennett's Thematic Catalogue by Rosemary Williamson, and can find no
explanation for the error in Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics Vol.400
of 1897.

In fact, Williamson makes no reference to this publication, perhaps
with good reason!

Regards, Tim.

PS i've now added a comment to the miscellaneous notes on the
relevant IMSLP page, to draw attention to Schirmer's error.
