Alfred Grünfeld

[mballan]

I thought I would like to tackle several composers in the same vein as I did the Goldenveizer, and have one thread purposely dedicated to the composer with a list of works that are then populated as and when score are located and posted by members.

As I shared some of my Grunfeld scores with some friends recently, Mr P and I thought we would scan all of the works we currently hold by him, and subsequently post on PP for everyone's enjoyment.

I have highlighted works held by IMSLP, and those works I will post against show a # against the opus. Unfortunately there are still many gaps in both my knowledge and actual scores on what works Grunfeld composed....but hopefully this thread will stimulate interest and enthusiasm in Grunfeld and his music.

Special thanks to Caprotti for additional information on the works list, and the potential whereabouts of some of the missing scores.
