Re: Alfor's Rarities
My double-postings seem to be amazingly successful...
Here is what I intended to post yesterday:
Ewald STRAESSER
Rhapsodie C-Dur op. 21 Nr. 2
The better one of the twins, imho. Extremely "fluent" piano style, reminiscent of Grieg, Niemann and Bowen.
Gabriel PIERNE (1863-1937)
La Croisade des Enfants, Prelude de la 2e Partie arr. piano solo (popular work of this French composer, whose style might be described as post-Saint-Saens or pre-impressionistic)

Karl HOYER (1891-1936; German organist and composer, pupil of Reger, Straube, Teichmüller a.o.)
Drei kleine Sonaten (best Reger school, influenced - of course - by Reger's Sonatinen) Posted as an example of the - hardly known - piano compositions of this fine Dutch pianist:
Cor de GROOT
Sonatine (effective piano writing, mildly contemporary style, recommended!) More Hoyer at my mediafire archive

Re: Alfor's Rarities
Roger QUILTER (British composer, 1877-1953, mainly known for his songs)
Three pieces op. 16:
Dance in the Twilight
Summer Evening
At a Country Fair (dedicated to Leo Ornstein!)
Good, harmonically refined pieces, influenced by Bridge and Ireland Tobias MATTHAY
On Surrey Hills op. 30 (fairly easy, but also fairly refined pieces, composed in 1919 at High Marley, M.'s idyllic country home) Parts of M.'s major work "The Act of Touch" have been translated into German and have influenced pianists like Conrad Hansen, whose "Matthayan" pianistic credo of touch was: "nicht drücken, nicht stoßen, nicht schlagen" ("never press, never push, never beat the key"). He also often spoke of M.'s term "added impetus" which got the correct but somewhat funny German translation "hinzugefügte Triebkraft".

Fred
thank you for this rarity. The date probably should be read as "1956" - de Groot was born in 1914!
