We have 568 members now. So it is quite amazing that fleubis is the only one who prints and plays my scores! What do the other 567 members do and what for did they join this forum???

Dear Alfor
I both print and play your scores! I will play Alexandrov's 1st Sonata and Nocturne op.3 no.2 at Husum next month. And did you scan Haba op.2 pieces? Well, I'm playing one of them too! You are most appreciated.

Dear thalbergmad,
dear Tony,
dear isokani (a.k.a. ??? rabbit),

thank you for your feedback! I slightly exaggerated - indeed I do know that not only one single member is interested in my scores (scans). And I do know that it takes time and often considerable pianistic skill to play all the scores.
In order to present material that is worth the time investigated, I do my best to "preview" the scores and there are quite a lot which do not meet my own quality level and are sorted out. But as you can see there are more than enough left for scanning!!

Best regards

alfor

P.S. Tony: I will post Golubev's Violin Cto. in due course!
isokani: I will post Karg-Elert's Hexameron this summer (have to get it via interlibrary loan; I wish I could get more from your "need list", but it is quite a challenge; the Staatsbibliothek Berlin strictly sticks to the 70 years copyright term, so most of their treasures will be unavailable for decades .

... The one "forgotten" composer who I think will stay with us and be remembered for a long time is Rufinatscha.

The romantics amongst us who have not yet sampled his delicious music, would be well advised to seek out the extant recordings and broadcasts.

Thal

Where are his piano works??
Sonatas op. 3, 7, 9, 18
Märsche op. 4
Grand Caprice op. 5
Rondo capriccioso op. 6
6 Charakterstücke op. 14
Phantasie op. 15
Piano Concerto

[lutoslawski]

I believe chandos will been soon releasing the piano concerto, which will be coupled with one the symphonies.

Dear Alfor,

I from time to time put your pdf files into my iPad and have enjoyed playing / reading a lot of them already. This is more environmental, I think.

Thanks for your effort. I think I need to change to a 64G iPad very soon.

Best,
Koon

I rarely print your (or any other) scores I download. However, I do play through them direct from my large monitor (which allows two - or even three pages to be displayed simultaneously), and some appear on my YouTube channel - eg, one or two pieces by Heinrich Neal.
