Pianophilia

WHAT IS THIS?? (slightly reminiscent of Faure?)
Once in a while I am forced by the NSA to test the knowledge of all pianophilia members.
So - in order to maintain your current state at pianophilia - all 824 members are urgently requested
to tell me by PM the name of the composer of the „Testing“ page!!!!

No idea unfortunately !

Alfor, as you're one of the 824 members, will you be PM-ing yourself with the answer?

No, but I was pre-tested by the NSA and had to send my e-mail to their 50 firewall-guarded e-mail address

Big Brother is patient with you!
One more chance:
One more hint: It is a wk-wn*** composer.

***widely known but widely neglected

Ah,

The second testing was a little easier to read - for the first testing, though - I had to turn my computer on its side - a 90 degree rotation to the clockwise direction. The piano was much harder to turn it being so much heavier, mistakenly I went the wrong way and discovered that both I, the piano and the computer were in total confusion - when ... whoops! the computer tumbled, I slipped, the piano fell on top of me and I am now prone, supine even. Maybe this is why the second testing appears more readable on account of my being in an unfamiliar position.

When the headache goes I will try and solve the riddle!

This seems really familiar, but I can't place it. For a moment I though Castelnuovo-Tedesco, but that's probably WAY off the mark! Blanchet also came to mind, but I don't think it's him either...

WAY off!!!!!!!

ONE single more hint for all Greek-affine pianophilians:

Thank you! Pianophilia occasionally lacks a bit of humour!!
On the other hand this is a „serious“ matter and I will solve the riddle and you hopefully will be delighted
with a series of nice piano pieces*** very well suited for „home use“ -
and I will provide a rare LP (!)recording.

***I also will provide a hires scan of the complete series (IMSLP has a middle-quality scan). - - - I am afraid you now know that the composer is public domain...

First page properly rotated:

Mad as Adam.
Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic.
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.
Did mom pop? Mom did.
I, man, am regal; a German am I.
Solo gigolos.
Zerimar Ramirez.



Got the point, dear fleubis??!!
