Iberia: Piano Music from Spain & Portugal

[momlpiano]

Does anyone know of the keyboard sonatas of Manuel Espona (1714-1779)? I ran into a Brilliant Classics album of this Catalan composer, and I was quite taken by some of the sonatas.

Hi, Stephan, I will take a look of that sonatas from Espona, thanks. Other Spanish composers of that century you may be interested in: Blasco de Nebra, Sebastián Albero and Joaquín Montero. They wrote nice sonatas for forte-piano.

... only the Nos 61-68 ... (nms)

Soler Klaviersonaten Nr 61-68 (ed. Rubio).pdf

Best regards

That's exactly it!

Thanks, Paul!

Now I need "only" Sonatas 1-40.

Hi all,

Any development on this?
I'm still looking for Soler's Sonatas 1-40 (ed. Rubio).

Thanks.

Hello Philm93

I have replied to your personal message re. Silva. I also have tons of Costa's works - was there anything you wanted specifically ? Reply to my email address: malcolm.ballan@gmail.com.

Hi all

I do have some manuscrpts of Luiz Costa works that i found.
They are not bad readable but i'd be really happy to share them, if somebody would transcribe them to normal sheet music. I unfortunately do not have the program to do that.

It s telas campesinas, dancas rusticas and a few non opus.
I'd be happy to have some help there.
Please leave a pm if you'd be interested.
Regards
Phil

I'm happy to look at them and transcribe. I use musescore, which is free. https://musescore.org/

Working with Philippe, I have re-engraved the following works of Luiz Costa:

* Bucólicas (1-3)
* Figurinhas de Porcelana (Porcelain Figurines)
* Malhadores na eira (Farmhands threshing grain)
* Manhã na floresta (Morning in the forest)
* Tres Romances
* Op.6 Telas Campesinas (1-4)
* Op.13 Cenarios (1,2,4 - 3 was missing from manuscripts)
* Op.17 Danças rústicas (originally assigned Op.14)

As Philippe and others who have seen the manuscripts will attest, many are very hard to decipher - Costa was a bit loose with his hand in notating chords. Some manuscripts have been re-written more cleanly by another hand. I had no prior familiarity with Costa's idiom so it's very much best guess. However after having completed ~60pp and seen where his clearer repeated measures match my guess at the first sighting of them, have some confidence that they're a fairly good start.

I'm not posting them here as they'll appear quickly on youknowwho dot com where a number of my re-engravings have already lined their pockets.

Thank you so much for this wonderful work!

Do you need the Op.13 no.3 manuscript? I can send it to you.

Thanks.

Thanks Again for the engravings.
I'm super happy with them,
and i'm eagerly working on them.

He indeed had a bad handwriting
