FredB has either restored almost everything or will probably do so. Anything you have problems with, do report it here and request it - one of us will always repost if necessary.

As these seemed quite popular - the remaining Rakov sonatinas Nos 7 to 12.

Sonatinas Nos 7, 8 & 9 Sonatina 10 Sonatina Nos. 11 & 12 Peter

You are a genius. Thank you so much
Would you happen to have any recording of any of these sonatinas?
I know that no.4 was released on a melodiya lp, with some other piano works by Nikolai Peiko.

Thank you Tony, you are most kind. I am only aware of sonatina No. 4 being recorded by Blagoy on the Melodiya label as you mentioned, but I have no recordings at all of anything by Rakov beyond the Vioin concerto which is quite popular.

Yes, the Violin concertos are very popular. Highly romantic with exquisite orchestration.

Hello Malcolm,

I'm wondering if you or any other Pianophilia members know how to find a copy of Anton Rubinstein's Technical Exercises. The only information I have on the exercises is from Larry Sitsky's catalogue of Rubsintein's piano works, which says they were published in a book of 57 pages by Simrock in Berlin.

Kind regards,

Coady

Hi Coady

I have heard of these technical studies but must admit that I have never come across a copy. There are three possible options:

1. Simrock's catelogue generally was divided between two current publishers - Schott's who are extremely helpful [just look up website and use their general enquiries e-mail], and the majority to Boosey & Hawkes [who alas are less than helpful where their archive in Germany is concerned]. Initially try Lothar Niefind who works in the Simrock archive in Berlin [although much was destroyed during WW2] - his e-mail is: lothar.niefind@boosey.com

2. Alternatively try the Berlin State Library who may hold a copy [or even other national Libaries in the hope they might hold a copy].

3. Or try to contact Sitsky direct to see where he located a copy for his book.

I'll check around at my end to see if I can locate anything for you.
