Because of that success, I have another concert lined up next week and will perform a clarinet trio I wrote! Very exciting for me, especially because I did not go to school for music (100% amateur), and this is all just my life's passion. Happy days.
I'm so glad to make recordings for you and others. Next on my list will be some works by Gernsheim, Brull, Schutt, and P Scharwenka. I'm looking forward to more Dohler scores. Do you have any other specific Chaminade requests that I can record for you?
Hi Alex - I'm so glad that you're enjoying playing these rarities - music is indeed the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you so much for the offer to play more Chaminade! Of her later works, which have not been played much at all, if I had to choose, I would be interested in her Italian-influenced pieces like Op. 170 - Air Italien, Op. 163 - Romanesca, Op. 154 - Serenade Venitienne, and Op. 82 - Chanson Napolitaine. I would also like to humbly request a hearing of some of the Dobrzynski that has been shared on PP - much of his chamber music has been recorded, but precious few of his piano pieces, which are always excellent.
Thank you again so much for the offer! It brings much pleasure and certainly aids in the research/playing of these wonderful composers.
. It was not quite clear enough for me to play it accurately and so I did not make a recording. I'm sorry! It does have some interesting qualities, for sure!
for your scholarly review....
