Miniatury Fortepianowe PWM

[fleubis]

kamator, you really seem to have found the "mother load" for these PWM editions.

Many thanks from Central America (am I the only one from here?)

Debussy_La_plus_que_lente, PWM, MF87.pdf

Dear fleubis, thanks for your nice words. I am doing what I can under circumstances.
Here are the next two entries from PWM's Miniatury Fortepianowe.

PS. It appears that Debussy wanted to prevent at any price the publication
of "La plus que lente" but he did not succeed...

Thank you from myself as well, Kamator! Piwarski's selections embrace the greatest as well as most beloved compositions, all impeccably edited. What a nice opportunity to re-discover such wonderful favorites.

Dear fhimpsl, thanks for your remarks. I evidendly share your opinion. However we must be careful about the following detail: as far as I can see the PWM in Cracow ( shorthand of Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, (Polish Music Editors)) has not much to do with the Piwarski Edition whose pic of activity was around the begining of 20th century. Tell me if I am wrong or missing some overlap between these two.

Edition

Dear kamator,

I always remember Piwarski as Szymanowski's original publisher, and knowing that today's PWM apparently still publishes this great composer's works, I extrapolated (hate to use the word "assumed") that Piwarski and PWM were related. That may or may not be true. Wiki claims that PWM started on the heels of WWII in 1945, a fact supported by the company's website...http://pwm.com.pl/en/page/o_pwm.html. However, it is very possible that PWM was started from the old Piwarski company catalog and what remained of their holdings. I haven't been able to close the link, so it remains a mystery.

The following site provides an interesting (post-1945) history of the PWM publishing house, which may interest many of our friends:

Thanks again for your good work, and all the best,

Very interesting, I myself have no clue.

Bach_Busoni_Toccata_and_Fuga_d(Ed.W.Kedra), PWM, MF93.pdf

Here is Bach-Busoni from PWM's Miniatury Fortepianowe in perfect edition of W. Kedra.
This monumental piece is hardly a miniature and we profit from the fact that it was included in this series.

Again, many thanks kamator for these excellent editions. Of these posted today I certainly am enjoying the Ravel Menuete the most and what a fine edition it is, too. And nice to have further editions of Bach-Busoni. These are always much fun to play. I've been addicted to them since Horowitz recorded the the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue.
