Does anyone have Zygmunt Stojowski's Aspirations, Op.39 No.1 "L'aspiration vers l'azur- Prélude"?

Quite a lovely piece.

Thanks very much.

Hi all,
Has anyone come across the Spanisches Ständchen op63/1 by Xaver Scharwenka played so winningly by Stephen Hough on his Spanish album?
Thanks

Paul Kuczinsky correct here? Any details about him?

Kuczynski Franke H Variationen, Fuge und Ländler fis-Moll f. Streichquartett 4H.pdf

[mballan]

Paul Kuczynski. Born 1846 Berlin, died 1897 Berlin....although classified as a Polish composer.
He was a banker by profession but also recognised as an excellent muscian. He studied with Bulow and Kiel. Primarily noted as a compsoer of vocal scores. Of his few piano pieces the only ones I'm aware of are:
Humoreske
Intermezzo
Karnevalwalzer
Phantasiestucke
Variation, Fuge & Landler [as posted]

A hard composer to track down both interms of scores and information. Many thanks to kh0815 for posting the variations.
