Pianophilia

Ernest Haberbier (1813-1869). German pianist and composer. Studied with his father, an organist; then left home in 1832 and went to Russia becoming a court pianist in St Petersburg in 1847. Concertized in London in 1850; then in Paris in 1852, and finally settled in Bergen in 1866, just 3 years before his death. He wrote a number of effective piano pieces of which his Op 53 Etudes-Poesies [25 etudes] are the best known and available on IMSLP.

Here are his lesser known set of Eight Etudes-Poesies Op 59. Malcolm & Mr P

Unlike me, this is short and beautifully formed.

Gustav Merkel (1827-1885). German organist and composer. Studied organ with Schneider, and theory with Otto: he was also aided by Schumann. He was organist for several churches in Dresden, and taught at the Dresden Conservatoire from 1861. He primarily wrote a number of organ works...........although on this occassion, I have posted one of his few piano works - the Op 70 Polonaise.

This is a small selection of Loeschhorn's piano compositions.

Thank you, Timtin.
Thank you, Malcolm.
Thank you, Mr. P.
Thank you, Parson St.

Hello parsonstreet,

Many thanks for posting the Loeschhorn collection! That is a really nice find. His music seems very hard to come by. Only a few sets of etudes are available as far as I know, and that's a shame considering the large output from this composer. Your work in scanning the folio is very much appreciated.

All Best,

Frank H.

I have to second this. It is great to have a few more pieces by this composer.
I have several lots of etudes but little else.
Many thanks for this score.
