Not sure whether this is the correct forum to post this, but I wondered whether anyone might have William Vincent Wallaces transcription of "Va Pensiero" from Verdi's Nabucco, to share please? I heard it on radio this morning and it's a fantastic piece. Thanks.

I have had this years, but no memory of where I collected it from. NMS (Edit: it's in the National Library of Australia, with a lot of other WVWiana https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-2881042353/v ... 2881042676) https://musescore.com/user/4151271/scores/7499612

Hi Everyone,
You might be interested to know of three new first editions that I and my co-editor have published. Harold Darke, now mostly known for his setting of In the bleak midwinter, was a lecturer at the RCM for decades, as well as Organist of St Michael's, Cornhill in London. Products of his student days, these three sets of piano works display all the hallmarks of a composer well on his way to become a master of the craft, displaying a heavy romantic influence in the Three Concert Studies Op. 7. The Characteristic Pieces and Fancies are couched more in the early 20th century British style of Dyson, et al. The works have been edited from manuscripts held in the collection of the Royal College of Music, with the permission of his descendants.

Sample pages are available on Crescendo Music Publications' website - https://www.crescendomusicpubs.com.au/items.php

kind regards,
Daniel

Duly posted, his Variations in D Major.

does anyone have Carse's Independence Studies Book II?

I got the hump seeing Kammell's dates incorrectly given as 1740-88 in this English edition! They were in fact 1730-84. Almost everything he composed seemed to be in sets of six.

Not uncommon at the time, of course. JS Bach's Partitas, English and French Suites, CPE Bach's Prussian sonatas to name but a few.

Kammell was by all accounts a very successful composer - he was of course Bohemian but settled in England. It would be good to get an unedited or original publication of these scores. This edition is well meaning but very much overedited and how much has been changed by the editors we don't know.

Recently, I acquired an modern album of easy Mozart pieces for children to play (glossy cover, of course), and several of the headings for the works carried incorrect K numbers. So I gave it away to a charity shop, having 'edited' the duff information with pencilled-in corrections.

Attached you find a scan from the Bavarian State library available at IMSLP reworked in bw. Could be a piano reduction or a work originally written for piano.

Best regards
Paul

Thanks for that. Probably originally written for the piano, judging by the style. Also looks to have been written for amateurs and students.

The writing on the front cover is so ornated that most people read Antonio Shammell and not Kammell. Even some librarians !

Yes. One suspects dyslexia was the order of the day...from Grove:

Kammel [Kamel, Kammell, Kamml, Khaml, Cammell], Antonín
(b Běleč, bap. 21 April 1730; d ?London, 5 Oct 1784). Bohemian violinist and composer.
