Pianophilia

anyone has the score of J.N.Hummel's Fantasie in G minor op.123? It's much better compared to the op.18 one.

Really?! I think the Op.18 is quite amazing. I'm very interested and second the request. I'm always on the lookout for further Hummel solo piano pieces.

For you, Alex, I'm sure that I can get a hold of this one, unless someone can post it sooner...

I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't surfaced, as it was included in a large collection of Hummel reprinted by Garland a number of years back.

Which volume or series of Garland has this piece?

I have recently listened to the piece from the cd Hummel fantasies by Madoka Inui, this piece is a first recording.

It seems to also be available in a French volume from '82. I wonder which one has the better scan. Does this need to be requested or does someone already have it? And, just for the record, re-prints of 19th-C. scores from recent publications are allowable to post, yes?

There are several items on that list that would be great to obtain! Coincidentally, Hummel has been occupying all of my time at the piano this past week, before reading the posts here. Aww musiclife, I so appreciate the sentiment. Really ANY other Hummel works that aren't already on IMSLP are works that I really want!! J.N. is my darling . I would be happy to record anything not already recorded, and what anyone can manage to share!
This morning I listened to Madoka Inui's recordings (again) of the two Fantasies we are talking about. It really makes me wish to play the Op.123 and go back to play the Op.18 for the umpteenth time. I especially like her interpretation during the slow middle section in the Op.18. What a shame that this work isn't recorded more. It is thrilling, improvisatory, and very unique.

Garland issued "The complete works for piano : a six-volume collection of reprints and facsimiles." Does anyone know if this series is in fact complete? It would be a Mt. Everest of scanning. Is Garland still in business?
