Pedro Hernández.
Jean-Séb:
You better doubt it! because I do not have a clue about Pedro Hernández.
According to your search, he was a member of a band “Orquesta Romeu” founded by Antonio María Romeu (1876–1955); he was a violinist indeed.
"Romeu founded his own orchestra in 1910. The initial line-up for Orchestra Romeu was: Romeu (piano); Feliciano Facenda (violin); Alfredo Valdés (flute); Rafael Calazán (double bass); Remigio Valdés (timbal); Juan de la Merced (güiro): quite a small group. By the 1920s the orchestra included Francisco Delabart (flute); Augusto Valdés (clarinet); Juan Quevedo (violin); Aurelio Valdés and Félix Vásquez (güiro); Antonio Ma. Romeu (son, violin); Pedro Hernández (violin); Dihigo (trumpet); Regueira (trombone) and José Antonio Díaz (flute). In the 1930s the orchestra added even more musicians, and became for a while a 'big band'. In wartime, with a diminution of tourism, the band reduced its size.
Orquesta Romeu with Romeu (dark suit) & Fernando Collazo, end-1920s"
I will contact a friend in Cuba to try to get some more information.

Re: The Unknown Composer
Does anyone know Michel Cheskinoff.
The only hint that I have is that he was a composer (Russian or Soviet?), and he teached at the Lebanon Conservatory.
Info and some score (s) would be appreciated.

I do not think that this composer is Russian [despite the name] as I can find no trace of him at all on any of the Russian websites I usually use to check information. All I can find is that he taught at the Beirut Conservatoire.....so may have been born / educated in that area.

It might be easier to contact this Giovanni Marradi fellow: http://www.giovanni.com/bio.html who claims to have studied under him at the Russian Conservatory in Beirut.ilu wrote:Does anyone know Michel Cheskinoff.

There is a reference to a piano method, but otherwise all I have is this (partial) set of progressive studies. RegardsWlom wrote:I'm looking for Anton Schmoll works for students and the difficult pieces too
