Alfor's Rarities

Moriz ROSENTHAL

Romanze (G-Dur)

Max FIEDLER
Fünf Clavierstücke op. 2

Fiedler 5 Clavierstücke op.2.pdf

Just tried Fiedler Fantasiestucke. And it was exquisite. Simple harmony, with an excellent balance in the piano writing. It owes a lot to Brahms, specially on the left hand patterns.

P.S. I forgot to tell you the subtitle of Rosenthal's Romanze:
"Albeniz in Wien" (Albeniz in Vienna)

Ignaz FRIEDMAN
Miniatures op. 8

Friedman Miniatures op.8.pdf

FRIEDMAN-GÄRTNER
Wiener Tänze

Friedman-Gartner Wiener Tänze.pdf

(both deserve a high-quality scan!)

P.S. As the subtitle of Rosenthal's Romanze is hardly readible,
it might also be: "Granados in Wien"

I am happy to complement this by a 2-piano version of one of these dances.

Many many thanks for all the incredible treasures you are offering!

Bw,

Thank you Alfor for all the Friedman!!

Andre S. ILLIACHENKO (1881-1954)
Trois Preludes op. 4

Nikolai I. PEYKO

Posted as an example of the piano style of this - at least for me -
(hitherto) completely unknown Finnish composer:

John Väinö FORSMAN
Sonata Nr. 4 op. 12
(good piece! More a Sonatina - mildly contemporay idiom
with very economic use of the material.)

Forsman Sonata Nr. 4 op.12.pdf

Alfor, thank you so much for your recent postings. There is so much to explore that I'm getting behind. I love the Freidman pieces and today's Illiashenko Preludes are getting attention here.

Gerardus Hubertus von Galen BRUCKEN FOCK (Dutch composer and painter, 1859-1935:

Neun kleine Präludien op. 2

Spanische Tänze op. 3

von Brucken Fock Spanische Tänze op.3.pdf

Fünf Präludien op. 4

von Brucken Fock 5 Präludien op.4.pdf

(not a "Dutch Chopin" IMHO, but much better than
the usual 19th century "bread & butter" writing!)

[lutoslawski]

Just so members knows, and if interested. The John Vaino Forsman Complete sonatas has been released on BIS label. Quite an old release already, since 1998. I just ordered mine !

Drei Balladen für das Pianoforte op. 3 (dedicated to Busoni)
Good music! Late-romantic style, Brahms influence. Especially No. 3
might also have been called "Northern Rhapsody".

Max FIEDLER
Fünf Clavierstücke op. 3
(Quality 19th century character pieces. Just the right thing if you
need a break from overly complicated 20th century scores!)
