Dear Caprotti

Excelent...thank you so much for all these scores which have filled no end of gaps in my Martucci collection [a composer who wrote some exquisite music]. Quite amazing......thank you.

to complete all the piano works with op.number

The Novelletta is one of the most beautiful examples of how an orchestral transcription can surpass the original; unfortunately I don't have at hand the full score

Hello Friends,

I've been working on the collection and going through the works of one of my beloved composers, Giovanni Sgambati, and noted quite a few works not posted on IMSLP or on Pianophilia. One is a set of superb etudes which I would like to share. Sgambati is another composer whose entire output for piano should be freely available, as everything I've heard of his is absolutely superb.

All Best,

Frank

in comparing my scores to IMSLP, I rapidly discovered that their postings on this composer are badly disorganized with many errors. To collectors interested in obtaining Sgambati's works via IMSLP, please note the following:

1. Op. 12 is incorrectly listed, being described as Op. 8
2. Op. 36 also incorrectly listed, being described as Op. 29
3. Op. 18 also incorrectly listed, being described as Op. 13
4. Op. 21 also incorrectly listed, being described as Op. 16

I will attempt to fill in the gaps in the Sgambati works via my own collection and/or scans which I've accumulated.

Thank you for these Sgambati score Frank. I have a great deal of his music, and if there are any pieces you are looking for, let me know.

I also have the complete piano works on 6 CD's, played by a friend of mine, Francesco Caramiello.
He has given me many scores of this music. Some though, are in a recent printing, so cannot be scanned for PP.
