This is great !!
Thank you so much for this huge amount of Tsfasman !!

Best wishes, Ferruccio (amateur pianist)

Seconded! Had a blast playing through these little pieces of history this afternoon. Next week I'll work on pronouncing his name!

Hello Fleubis,

Given the intensity of your fingering discussions with Alfor I'd have thought you could count !
Technically it should be "thirded" !

Just a little espieglerie - no offence intended.

For the sake of completeness, here are two other volumes of Tsfasman, including mostly the same works as the previous post and a few other works (such as the Samba)

Alexander Naumovich TSFASMAN
Dancing Music, dance pieces (15), for piano (Recreational Music - Library for the Amateur Pianist) (1984)

Thank you for those Tsfasman!!! I love it!

By the way do you have Tsfasman Jazz suite? It's really impressive. Pletnev played on Verbier 2013.

Thanks for the video. It's incredible that Pletnev would play Tsfasman...

Hmm,
I'm not so sure I agree, there is after all nothing wrong with the music itself.
In fact I have often wondered how some of the classical greats would have responded to the modern idioms if free of their indentured restraints. I believe Mozart would have been an amazing jazz improviser if his social and financial circumstances had allowed / demanded it.

Faure would have been an amazing cocktail, atrium performer with a little bit of left shoulder and a hesitant right hand.

Rachmaninov would have out-strided and out swung the best of this forum's icons. Forget 10ths - try 18ths, without rolling them !

Some of the most popular "American musicians - pianists" were classically trained immigrants, who were only trying to make a living and who might never have been heard of if they had persisted in conventional performances and music tutoring in the classical vein.

Interesting little work by Hans Barth.

Like before, I am visiting another spot so my scanner does not behave like my regular one, if anyone wishes to crop and clean up the score (short, 2 pages of music + 1 cover), I know we would all sincerely appreciate it.

The score came out good--I had to guess at the cover:

Hi,

I said it's incredible because to my impression, I never heard Pletnev playing anything jazzy. It really amazes me when he actually does.

Wow, Pletnev wrote a Jazz Suite years ago!
