Re: Alfor's Rarities
It's never too much when it comes to thank you Alfor. I really enjoy Tansman Mazurkas and by the way, how many volumes exist? Four are already safe in our pianophilia

To Ferruccio, with compliments:
Raffaele D'ALESSANDRO
3eme Sonatine op. 39 Eduard SCHÜTT
Lose Blätter Sammlung kleiner Klavierstücke op. 13
(Schumann/Tchaikovsky influenced. Is it salon-music, is it "Hausmusik" or should it be labelled
"Character pieces"? Please judge yourself - and let me know, if you like!) I am aware Dr Wright [who is a member of PP] would likely prosecute for breach of copyright and have hence removed the article on Schutt.

Re: Alfor's Rarities
Members may be interested to know that this luminary of musicology, Dr Wright, 'believes that the life style [sic] and character of the composer is [sic] inherent in some of his music and quotes, as examples Haydn for his wit and diplomacy, Schubert for his laziness and plagiarism, Bruckner for his Catholic spirituality, Elgar for his pride and pomposity and Britten for his homosexuality and pederasty' [quoted from Linda Karen Dowson: 'Dr David Wright', http://www.wrightmusic.net/ on 20 April 2011] and, thus, may be surprised that 'other writers on music who [sic] object to Dr Wright's articles out of jealousy and/or because his writings are scholarly, definitive and reliable and, consequently, other writers may feel diminished' [ibid.]. Thought I recognised his name ... his article on Scriabin [http://www.wrightmusic.net/pdfs/alexander-scriabin.pdf] is certainly good for a laugh, though.alfor wrote:To Ferruccio, with compliments:

I like the Schütt pieces, Alfor, they are miniatures in the same vein as many of your recent posts, so Album Leaf, or Character Pieces when interesting titles appear and Klavierstücke when no programmatic title is suggested. This is how I see pieces like these. Yes, it sounds like salon music to me. That said, there is a lot of room on my piano desk for the lesser-known composers of pleasant, cheery music like Schütt brings us but does make me curious about what his bigger pieces might look like.

Re: Alfor's Rarities
Further to the conversation about Britten, I vividly remember a conversation
with a great aunt of mine who lived in Aldeburgh for much of her life.
According to her, many local residents disliked him not because of his lifestyle
or because of the type of music he wrote, but because of the fame he enjoyed
in England at that time in spite of his decision to go to America when he did.
More recently, the main local gripe involved the giant scallop on the beach.
