Composers from Germany [Misc]

Yes, you are right. The "flauto" parts are in the middle. Thank you, Musiclife.

Does anyone have the score of Kurt Weill’s Tango-Ballade (arranged for piano from "The Threepenny Opera")?
Many thanks.

Does anyone have the score of Kurt Weill’s Tango-Ballade (arranged for piano from "The Threepenny Opera")?
Many thanks.

Note, as it is a derivative of a copyrighted work it is still protected till at least 2026 (70 yrs after Bertolt Brecht's death). But the piano score is cheap and easy to source.

https://www.kwf.org/contact/copyright/ : [Summary] Some of Weill's instrumental works entered the public domain in 2021, but not consistently across the globe. Because he had many collaborators, most of his works remain under copyright, some until late in the 21st century.

Hello all,

I have recently become interesting in the music of the composer Kessler, Joseph Christoph, but I am having unfortunatly little luck finding sheet music online. He had a large influence on Chopin when he was in his teens and having played some of the music found on IMSLP his mark is very apparent. For that reason alone I think his music is valuable.

On IMSLP you can only find the following scores:
Etudes Op. 51
Etudes Op. 20
Etudes Op. 100
Nocturnes Op. 48
Penees Fugitives Op. 72
Rondo Grazioso Op. 52
Scherzo Op. 45

There are also some score found on https://polona.pl/search/?filters=creat ... 2,public:0

One notable mention not listed here is his preludes Op. 31 which were dedicated to Chopin and likely had a big influence on some early Chopin works. You can find the complete set of preludes performed here: https://enc.piano.or.jp/musics/17009 but no sheet music apart from Op. 31 No. 2 exists online. Listening through these pieces I have found some interesting connections to some of Chopin's earlier pieces, namely his E Minor Waltz.
I tried to order this one through Sheet Music plus but after ordering they updated the status of the Sheet Music to not available and refunded me. Since then I have been working diligently to transcribe this set by ear and although my scores are very accurate I would still prefer to have the original sheets. I also looked at the worldcat to see if there were any libraries nearby holding the book but unfortunately the closest one is 900 miles from me.

There also exists a record of a Kessler etude in C Major which has a striking resembelance to Chopins Op. 10 C Major etude.


You can find a list of pieces from Kessler on this website. https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/BLK%C3%9 ... _Christoph
Searching the site for Kessler its been a while since anybody has mentioned him, and I believe most of the scores for him on IMSLP were provided by the users of pianophilia. I was hoping somebody may have access to scores not listed on IMSLP and would be willing to provide them.

Any help at all would be appreciated!

WorldCat shows many copies of the Kessler Op.31 held at libraries around the world
https://www.worldcat.org/title/24-prelu ... c/31734147

The Polish National Library records it in its online archive, but says it is copyright-protected due to it being a recent engraving (Kraków : Polskie Wydaw. Muzyczne, 1994) (You could enquire from them directly: https://pwm.com.pl/pl/sklep/publikacja/ ... garnia.htm)

Other works are available from the Polish National Library:

Camillo Schumann Sonatina.pdf

Camillo Schumann Sonatina.pdf

I played Camillo Schumann's Cello Sonata No. 1 (with a cellist) and got interested about his non-organ works. I was wondering if anyone can share a printed version of his Sonatina. I am including his manuscript version as a pdf attachment here. A side question, did he compose any piano sonatas? if so, are they existing in printed editions?

There are a handful of Kessler pieces on Gallica at BNF (France), if anyone wants to pull them and then add them to our collection.

Including the lovely nocturnes Op. 48 and Op. 29 - Scherzo and Rondo you mention are also there.
