French Piano Music

[musiclife217]

Any help to fill the holes on the missing Etudes is much appreciated.

Some of them are available as scanned reproductions from the French national library e.g.
Op.122: https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb430842362

If I'm not mistaken, this 37pp score would cost 25.9 €

Thank you, will check with the group before ordering.

Hi,

I am very very interested in getting the 6 sonatas of FRANCOIS-ADRIEN BOIELDIEU.

I will be grateful if someone can upload the score.

They all appear to be on IMSLP, incorrectly filed under collections:

Okay WOW I was shocked when I saw this on BnF Gallica (check it out! https://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/ ... n%22%29%29)

Apparently they uploaded some manuscripts of unpublished works by ye good olde Alkan! A true festival for every fan of Alkan's music! I'm talking about two (unfortunately) unfinished pieces: Appassionato for piano and an Etude for Pedalier both in D major.

Also there are two orchestral works, Cantatas in particular: Hermann & Ketty and L'entrée en loge.

Again check this out for yourself if you are interested and to verify the sources!


Alkan - Appassionato.pdf


Alkan - Étude pour piano.pdf

I'm only now seeing this. I, too, was delighted to discover these digitizations at Gallica earlier this year. Just one note re the 'Appassionato', this is actually a draft or copy of the first part of the composer's 'Délire', from the Esquisses, Op.63, No.29.

As to the pédalier étude, it seems decidedly odd. Although appearing conventional enough on the page, I found the harmonizations to be very out of character for the composer. BUT this could be my own failings as a transcriber of course!

this apparently was once played with some frequency and enjoyed some popularity:

Alphonse Leduc's Op. 139 - Fantaisie a la Valse - La Chatelaine (The Lady of the Manor) (my translation....)

Leduc, Alphonse-Op. 139-Fantaisie a la Valse-La Chatelaine (The Lady of the Manor)

It is available elsewhere, I believe, but here is the single sheet. I just wanted to highlight this work.

*i have edited and re-uploaded the piece, as I have noticed that the BL and the BnF have this piece listed as Op. 139.
