Pianophilia

Some time ago someone asked about Raff's Three Salon Etudes Op.62 (which are actually Wagner transcriptions) which I don't think have been made available complete in any of the usual places. I've just scanned them for myself so append them here: It's been a while since I posted anything - I'll try and do better!

And while I'm at it, how about some Berlioz transcibed by Saint-Saens?

Thanks Mike !

Thank you FW190 and Mike for your recent postings! Nice to see some transcriptions like this. That transcription of the Minstrel Boy takes me back to my youth when the first time I heard it was by an arrangement by Leroy Anderson. I liked it so much I transcribed his arrangement for piano.

Berlioz - Saint-Saens Hymne de paques.pdf

A very nice transcription. On the subject of Easter, does anyone know of a piano transcription of the Easter Hymn "Ineggiamo Il Signor non e morto" from Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana?

You might check out the solo piano transcription of the complete opera by Leopoldo Mugnone on IMSLP.

We're not complaining

Thanks for the Raff, Scharwenka790!

Two more transcriptions by Jules Rochard:
The Welsh melodies March of the men of Harlech and The ash grove for piano 2H.
Published by Edwin Ashdown, London, n.d. (c. 1860-80).

Three transcriptions by Jules Rochard:
- The famous song Scenes that are brightest from William Vincent Wallace's (1820-1865) Opera Maritana.
- The song The Wood-Nymph's call by Langton Williams (~1832-1896).
- A Quadrille to the song Watching for Pa composed by Henry Clay Work (1832-1884)
The quadrille was scanned by the Levy library but I pimped up the file a little bit.
