Schumann_Lullaby_op124_no16, PWM, MF58.pdf

Thank you!! The contemplative mood of this piece was masterly captured by pianists like Elly Ney.
Original title: „Schlummerlied“ („Slumber song“).

On the contrary, I am indebted to you ! Ordnung muss sein, especially with KV numbers.
What means OCD ?

kamator

OCD = obsessive compulsive disorder.

My tendency towards hoarding large quantities of music
and memorising opus numbers may be symptoms of it!

Here are further two PWM's Miniatury Fortepianowe.
In Beethoven it is not indicated who is the author of this piano version. Can anyone compare the current version
with other versions available in order to determine it ? Thanks !

Thanks Kamator !

[fleubis]

Seconded!

Thirded!

I guess the Beethoven transcription is by Irena Garztecka.

As we all know the most famous transcription of this piece
(which is hardly ever heard in its original version) is by Anton Rubinstein.

[kamator]

That was my guess too, based on the fact that Irena Garztecka edited this Beethoven; and she has so well transcribed the
Sabre Danse, in the same PWM MF series.
But this is still not a proof, though....

P.S. Scarlatti-Tausig:

Are the markings in the score with pencil?
If so, would you mind using an eraser and scanning that piece again?

For removing ballpoint pen or ink markings I used with some success a
sharp cutter resp. scalpel in combination with an eraser.
Professional restorers do often use a fibreglass brush for this task.

[kamator]

The markings are in pen. The paper is old and fragile and I have chosen to do nothing.
But now I will consider removing them by other means.

Fountain pen or ballpoint pen?

An old and well-known trick of the trade (for removing pencil markings only)
is to use the soft inner parts of fresh bread (baguette or bread roll may work well):
Try to form a small ball and you will have the most sensitive eraser.
