Alfor's Rarities

[alfor]

And for sure you know too that the correct name is FRYDERYK

Yes, yes, yes. Fryderyk Franciszek - we all now have the wikipedia education .
I have some older German editions, where he is called Friedrich Chopin!!

[alfor]

Schumann's late chamber music often is rooted in folksong and somewhat "mendelssohnian" in character.
Here are 2 examples arr. for piano solo (very old and rare sheet material!).

Robert(o) SCHUMANN
Phantasiestücke für Piano, Violine & Violoncell op. 88
für das Pianoforte allein übertragen von J.B. Krall (in London)

Indeed. Thanks a lot!

[Caprotti]

Thank you Alfor, as far as I know they are only available at the Berlin Staatsbibl.

Mine are from the "Städtische Bibliotheken Dresden" (Town library)!

[Caprotti]

Are those local libraries listed in the general KVK (http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk.html) catalogue ?

I don't think so! You have to search their individual catalogues, as for example:

Dresden:

Leipzig (many rarities!!):

Munich:

[Caprotti]

Thank you very much for the Leipzig hint, I'll begin a detailed search.

In the meanwhile I noticed that Berlin has some rare Schumann 2H arrangements: anyone by chance ?

5 Stücke im Volkston
Violin sonata op.105 (2H Krall)
Maerchenerzaehlungen op.133 (2H Stark)
Liederkreis op.24 (2H Jadassohn)
Adagio u.Allegro hr.pf. (2H Krall)

AND Schubert : selected Lieder (2H W.Landowska) !

Still I am not able to find anywhere the attached 2H Schubert transcriptions for original 4H , published by Praeger & Meier
