Alfor's Rarities

[alfor]

I haven't worked out how to keep up to date with imslp or Sibley...

No need to apologize! Thanks to Caprotti I recently found out how to register with sibley so that I now get a daily e-mail with a list of their daily scans and the respective links. Very comfortable!!

To Sir Malcolm, with warmest regards:

Edward ELGAR
Three Bavarian Dances for the piano op. 27 (taken from choral suite "From the Bavarian Highlands")

Elgar 3 Bavarian Dances op.27.pdf

Splendid isolation: Specific British charm and most typically Elgarian.

[Op. XXXIX]

Edward ELGAR

Thank-you, thank-you!

No indication on the score who the arranger was. Are we to assume the composer or someone 'in-house'?

Walter REIN (1893-1955; German "brown" composer)
Sonatine in C

Rein Sonatine in C.pdf

Fine Hausmusik, very mildly contemporary style.
Influenced by old German folksong; slightly modal, slightly Hindemithian.

[alfor]

Karl HÖLLER
Sonatine I op. 58 Nr. I

Höller Sonatine op.58,1.pdf

Very good! Despite the more modern material H. essentially is a late-romantic (neo-romantic) composer.

Karl HÖLLER
Sonatine II op. 58 Nr. II

Höller Sonatine op.58,2.pdf

Joseph HAAS
Sonatine C-dur op. 94 Nr. 1

Haas Sonatine op.94,1.pdf

While chronologically post-Reger Haas' Sonatinas are stilistically rather pre-Reger.
Masterly composed they can give you a lot of pleasure if you are willing to accept
the essentially serene and "retrospect" character of these pieces.
