Excellent! Haunted by the spirits of "les clavecinistes francais" -
the french term "clarté" immediately springs to mind.

Thank you, Alfor, for being very French on this Friday with the ROGER-DUCASSE. I am intrigued by the Petite Suite--the transcription is so interesting, I went and found the original (4H) at Sibley. One never knows what directions things will take on when playing through the interesting pieces you post.

[alfor]

You are welcome, dear fleubis!

P.S. Is there really nobody to appreciate Denis Matthews??!!

[isokani]

Well, I have downloaded both files and enjoyed them: thank you indeed!

Glad to hear that!!
I am trying hard to catch the true spirit of "British understatement" (busily reading Alexander McCall Smith in English --- although, he is scottish )

This will become a French week!

Enjoy the last days of summer:

Joseph Guy ROPARTZ
Musiques au Jardin (genuine alfor scan!)
labelled as "finest Hausmusik" by Teichmüller/Hermann

Ropartz Musiques au Jardin.pdf

[fleubis]

Well, Alfor the ROPARTZ is pretty good Hausmusik. Not something you'd find in a concert hall, but something you'd play through on a lazy Sunday afternoon, which I did. Somehow, I seem to also have downloaded this piece in Nov 2010.
