Czech & Slovak Composers

[parag]

A small (but pretty!) parade of lovely "sonatinas" by various Czech composers, adheres to the quirky practice of putting a table of contents at the end of the volume. I scanned those pages with written translations (in pencil) in higher resolution color and merged them with the black and white scores.

Sonatinas by Czech Composers (of the 18th - 19th Centuries) Vol II.pdf

Lovely! Many thanks for this... a couple of spellings, Jiri Benda and the next is Vranitsky/Vranitzky.

Best regards,
Parag

Edit: I decided to print it out and did a quick clean up job; hope you don't mind.

Perhaps I'm just not finding them, but have scans of the 4th volume of Zdeněk Fibich's Nálady, dojmy a upomínky opus 41 (containing pieces 126-171) or his Dolce far niente from 1897 ever appeared? Thanks.

Yes, I scanned them long ago (and probably posted them in an earlier incarnation of pianophilia).

Happy Easter!!

PS: Does anyone have the compete recording of Fibichs Nalady ... with Lapsansky playing? I have some of these CDs but some are still missing on my shelves.

Many thanks for these. Guess what I'll be doing this afternoon?

First of several, bear with me, taking me a while to get all my recent scans sorted and labeled, and create supporting biographic addendums. Don't now a whole lot about this series other than they are difficult to find (I did see a few on ebay UK from later years [1960's] being sold from a private collection of a concert pianist for a pretty ridiculous price....so these apparently ran each year for quite a number of years). These early examples are all I can find and it seems my library didn't even have these catalogued (they were apparently purchased in the 1950's but were never checked out by anyone and when they updated the catalogues and entries, these somehow got 'skipped' so not even the library circulation administrators could provide any additional information).
