Worth enough to deserve a re-upload on new pianophilia:

G, we require proof of your audacious statement. Some samples are required please

Well, on short notice, and specific to this thread, I offer some Sigfrid Reda, the first movement of his Sonate:

http://www.evensongmusic.net/audio/Reda/RedaSonate1.mp3

This is a couple of years old interpretation-wise... I'd do some things differently on it even today (for one thing, I have better samples now!)
If you really want to hear more of this kind of stuff, I can post it in the recordings section (shucks, I could start a thread called Giwro's Virtual
Musings or somesuch)

Best,

Many thanks for these rare Nicodé. Is there any recording of some of these?

Hi everybody,
I am new here and may answer especially this question with a link to my just a few days ago produced recording of Nicodés Sonata:
Nicodé pianosonata op.19

You might find also other more or less rare recordings that might be interesting for this thread on my site, like for instance this piece of Eduard Franck:
Eduard Franck Allegro agitato op.4
Score

or this Impromtus by Clara Schumann (you can get the score at imslp)
Clara Schumann Impromptus Souvenir de vienne
just to mention a few ampng others.
To let you be warned early enough, all my recordings are produced with sampled pianos and historical keyboard instruments and sequencers. The guys from pianostreet usually became quite aggressive as soon as they realise this simple fact. But as far as you are just interrested in the music, as I am, let me invite you to listen.
best
Steffen

Can You post the same recording of Nicode but in Midi File?

Don't think I've posted any Nicodé (1853 -1919) recently, so here is the companion piece to No. 1 which is on IMSLP.

With special regards to mad Thalberg

Walter BRAUNFELS
Piano Concerto op. 21 ("Konzert für Orchester und Klavier")

Braunfels PC op.21.pdf

Braunfels was one of the few 20th century pianists, who improvised cadenzas "ex tempore".

Thanks old chap.

I did actually have this one, but your scan is much nicer.

Excellent work.

Albert Loeschhorn (1819-1905). German composer and teacher. Studied at the Royal Institute for Church Music with Berger, Killitschgy, Grell and A W Bach. Became a piano teacher there in 1851. Remembered primarily for his many excellent piano studies.

I have posted his Op 118 Eighteen Characteristic Studies (originally issued in 2 books) - apologies for the odd dark shadowing, caused again by sellotape markings.

Thank you Malcolm,
very nice etudes.

Many thanks for the Loeschhorn Etudes, Malc. These are interesting pieces, well written for the piano and many are quite challenging to play.

Although maybe not entirely right on this thread (since he was Bavarian ) here is a sonatina by Gottfried Rüdinger, of whom alfor has already posted some works.

From Grove:
(b Lindau, Bavaria, 23 Aug 1886; d Gauting, nr Munich, 17 Jan 1946). German composer and teacher. After attending the Gymnasium in Neuberg he began to study theology but from 1907 turned his interest entirely to music. He studied composition with Max Reger in Leipzig and church music under Wilhelm Widmann at Eichstätt Cathedral. From 1910 Rüdinger taught in Munich, first privately and then from 1920 as a member of the theory staff at the Academy of Music, where he became professor in 1938 and continued to teach until his death. From 1916 he was also a conductor of church choirs in Berg am Laim. Much of Rüdinger’s music, such as the Romantische Serenade op.9, shows the influence of Brahms and Reger; his vocal works make use of folksongs. Of his approximately 150 compositions, the last third (from the war years) remain unpublished.
