Pianophilia

Bowen wrote his own cadenzas for Beethoven's 4th Concerto; anyone seen it or have it?

Thank you Malcolm, for yet another huge collection of Bowen for us to enjoy.

York Bowen (1884 – 1961). Part 3 - next group of scores covering Op 61-90. This group is again well served on IMSLP although a couple are relatively poorer scans, so I have scanned my own copy of that work.

My warmest wishes to everyone across the Festive season. Enjoy !

York Bowen (1884 – 1961). Part 5, Op 120-160. A number of these works in this opus group have been republished through Weinberger.

Just to note – there are two page 1 for the Four Bagatelles (one greyscale, the other b/w) – this was because the original score had sellotape on it which had yellowed, and as such I was concerned that when scanned by b/w it would be difficult to see the notes.

The final part to this Bowen special will cover a number of the non-opus works (hopefully to post these by next weekend).

Quite unusual to have some polyphonic pieces by Bowen!
