Pianophilia

I just recently discovered some of the music of

Josef Bohuslav FOERSTER

There are scans of his "Träumereien op. 47" and "Notturno & Fantastico op. 142".

I very much would like to know more of his piano music (which obviously is out-of-print):

* Allegro a Scherzo, op. 5, 1885
* Miniatury, op. 17, 1885
* Jarní nálady, op. 4, 1887
* Listy z mého deníku, op. 18b, 1890
* Snění, op. 47, 1898
* Růže vzpomínek, op. 49, 1902
* Hudba večera, op. 79, 1904
* A jabloně kvetly, op. 52, 1905
* Taneční skicy, op. 48, 1906
* Imprese, op. 73, 1907-09
* Skladby pro mého synáčka, op. 72, 1908-09
* Erotovy masky, op. 98, 1912
* Osenická suita, op. 129, 1926
* Črty uhlem, op. 136, 1927
* Den, op. 153b, 1939

Foersters does have an impressive violin concerto !

Tony

Vítězslav Novák (1870-1949)

... and a 2-hand transcription of Novak's gorgeous Slovak Suite.

a new piece from l'Abbé Gelinek

RSL scan:

Karl NAWRATIL (Karel Navratil)
Sarabande op. 12,2 (ed. Strobl, piano Prof. at the Warsaw Conservatory)

Indeed I have found me old MAB book and have started to scan it. Incredibly, it was in my "B" box which would indicate I was sober when I filed it.

The next time I am let out of my cage, I will do the others.

The above has now been recorded by my new teacher Mr S Gonzales. Here is a photograph from the performance.

There is certainly nothing wrong with your eyes old chap.
