Alfor's Rarities

[Ferruccio]

....

BTW: Ferruccio, alias..., is a wonderful, successful, happy and well-known pianist!

Thank you, dear Alfor. But you are definitely exaggerating! And I have not intended fishing for compliments, even if I'm happy about your statement.
I only wanted to tell my love for this Busoni piece, which I felt very strongly at this special moment with the professor.

It has nothing to do with compliments. - - - Just imagine what might happen with your pianistic career, if some 500 pianophilia members (and you yourself) keep on sending off this statement....

P.S. Dear Ferruccio, what a fascinating program you played recently!!! But I never heard the names Suesse and Greif.

Alfor, I have a great respect for your fingering and this Hindemith sonata welcomes your expert help. I can see quite a few points on my own score where your fingering is a big improvement.

I am glad to hear that Ferruccio is playing in public some of these rare scores and envy those with an opportunity to hear these performances. Due to my remote location it is rather unlikely that any such performance would take place here unless I did it myself but then there are precious few people here who would appreciate what they were hearing in the first place. So I remain an audience of one.

Dear fleubis,

you are most welcome!!

P.S. Please do not try the recording of a certain GG - it is horrible IMHO. You may have a go for a certain Mr. Turini (although a bit too quick imho) or whoever else can be found on this...how was it called??...tubular forum of corrupted digital music...

Stop ... I am a Hindemithianer !
And I appreciate this fingered edition!

GG is almost everytime horrible. IMHO.

Alfor, I much appreciate your sharing of the fingering of the remaining portions of this sonata and I find them very workable. Google translate was no help with Hindemithianer, but I can say that I like a lot of Hindemith's music, and much prefer it to a lot of the atonal garbage coming out today.

Thanks for sharing this!

P.S.: thanks for pointing out the Turini.

Schubert Sonate fis-moll ed. Rehberg.pdf

Rehberg did not only edit and complete Schubert's Sonatas,
but actually played all of them in public in a series of six recitals (probably more than one time)!
His father Willy, although educated in the tradion of the 19th century, was
modern enough to propagate strongly the use of the thumb on black keys
(cf. my Hindemith fingering!).
