Russian & Soviet Composers - Part 3

[Allan]

trying to track down Balakirev: 30 russian folksongs for piano 4 hands or two pianos?

It must exist somewhere as Joseph Banowetz recently recorded it

It appears that Könemann published a five volume set of his complete piano works in 1997. A quick Google search shows multiple resellers with a volume here and there, and Amazon has them varying from $3 U.S. to $35 U.S., depending on condition/new/used.

Please note - the Konemann did not include the 30 Russian Folksongs for Piano 4 hands / 2 pianos......they just covered all the solo piano works.

No. I do not have a copy any more myself.......but I am sure I have seen these in a modern printing [possible Schirmers or similar company].

PS: just checked and Elibron have a reprint, and also found a website site where you can also download for about $12.

Here are the 14 Revolutionary and Mass Songs by Goldenweiser, picked up in Moscow by some rather roundabout methods.

Thank you for this rarity. Do you know if this was a commissional work? Interesting that G.'s arrangements are more of an intimate and refined nature rather than pompous.

[isokani]

I don't know much about the circumstances of these arrangements. I do know that Goldenweiser had written almost nothing for over 20 years when he wrote them. He also had written transcriptions of some of the same revolutionary songs a couple of years before -- in a more virtuosic manner, with more orchestral piano writing, and more dense polyphony -- and published them in the last book of the mammoth collection "86 Pieces".

Hi Folks,

In case anyone missed this I want to mention that yesterday IMSLP posted a great and rare set of 2 Etudes by Alexander Kopylov, Op. 60:

I know I was happy to get them!

All best,

Nikolai Artchibouchev [Artsybushev] (1858-1937) - I posted his Op 3 Deux Mazurkas many moons ago but here is a much cleaner and smarter copy of the work, coupled with the somewhat rarer solo Prelude published by Jurgenson.
