Many thanks for this fresh scan--the Largo has always been a favorite of mine.

You are welcome. I have an LP recording of the complete work, which I can post if you are interested.

I'm sure a number of people here as well as myself would appreciate a complete recording--no hurry though. Here's another Youtube recording--the Largo as played by the composer in Vienna, 1951. There are a few embellishments to the printed score--quite interesting to listen to.

Thank you Alfor for the Korngold sonata. Quite an amazing work for one so young. I also would welcome a recording of the whole work, and must confess that I'm not as familiar with Korngold as I should be, and playing through this sonata helps a lot..

Thanks Alfor for the fingered Powell. Such an awesome and painstaking work! This really arouses my interest in this kind of Feinbergian (to my ear) sound kosmos.

Hello Alfor and all,

Having lived with this new system (silently) of posting "viewtopics" in other threads, I now cannot refrain from silence and have to say that I find it intensely irritating.

When I log on, I now often find that there are numerous threads for me to visit ... but in fact if we stuck to the old method, there would only be ONE thread - all ALFOR.

I realise it was a face-saving compromise to change the posting method, but now when I go through Alfor's posts (Ra, Ra, by the way!), I have to click on the "viewposts" and get taken elsewhere. When I've finished with Alfor's posts - I STILL have to go the other threads, because the forum system tells me there are new posts - very often there are not any at all, they were all Alfor's, which by then I've already seen - sometimes, however there MIGHT be one, so I dare not miss the thread and end up either disappointed or dubiously relieved, but certainly compromised in efficient time usage and always vaguely irritated.

Surely, if we download any post on PP, most of us have our own classification systems and store it on our computers according to our own tastes or whims, no matter how irrational and regardless of whether it was Balkan, iberian etc. (Not that I claim to have a good filing system )

Whilst I love (hmm) sorting and classifying things, don't the administrators appreciate that ALFOR is a category all of his own and has such a massive spread of already contributed items that it is a little unneccessary to demand he posts out of his own thread. ?

Wouldn't it make more sense (if the face-saving must continue and ONLY if ...) to simply have a post in the other threads saying "see Alfor" - then I would not need to click and be transferred each time, I would simply save all the "see Alfors" till last when I visit Alfor's thread, confident that I haven't missed anything.

I would rather have the old system back, however.

Thank you Alfor,

I hope the admins are listening, reading, screening or whatever the correct word is.
It is said that feedback is valuable, so I hope no offence is taken with mho.

regards,
tobyjj

Thank you.
I am not sure, though, that he has a double name. Otherwise you did not provide much additional info, did you?...
