French Piano Music

[musiclife217]

Some of our PianoPhiliacs will already be aware, but it appears the complete Op. 63 Études by Méreaux are to be released next year on the Acte Préalable label.

I wait eagerly to see if this project actually materialises, but one of the studies, played by pianist Artur Cimirro, is already available on YouTube here.
The pianist provides a well-considered article on the project here.

Irrespective of members' opinions of the music in question, I applaud any musician who takes up the challenge of such comparatively out-of-the-way repertoire. I hope more like-minded musicians come to the fore in the future.

Bravo! Thank you very much for the notice!

Hello Members,
Does anybody have the score of Piano Sonata by Antoine Mariotte?

Thank you!

Voilà - the only one I have.

Seconded! And quite a piece it is, too!

I wonder if there is a fingered Ravel Piano Concerto in G available?


(Thinking aloud: am i too greedy to ask Alfor for a Christmas gift of his fingerings??? If he already have one in hand)

Dear soh choon wee,

I will see what I can do for you. A decent fingering of the Concerto in G should be fairly easy (resp. not too difficult)...

All best

P.S. Upcoming alfor fingerings ($ 5.00 per page ) : Ireland Sonata (complete); Le Tombeau de Couperin (complete); Roussel Sonatine; some Medtner Sonatas.

Thanks.... this is going to be a pleasant Festive Seasons.

Festive indeed! I would especially welcome fingerings for Le Tombeau de Couperin and the Roussel Sonatine. I have never been completely happy with my fingerings for the Ravel. Nice to get back to the piano after being away for 2 weeks.

How do you like this, dear soh choon wee?!

I corrected the printing error page 7, bar 3:
The left-hand notes e-b sharp-c sharp are clearly marked as a triplet
in the full score. So the corresponding right-hand notes b natural and a
must be eight notes. The following notes in the left hand (e and g sharp)
have to be played simultaneously! They are notated in a strange way, because
they are written in different clefs!

I still have to check how Monique Haas handles this bar in her recording.

Page 4, bars 3 & 4: I am not exactly sure that the 8va signs have been placed correctly.
(Please let me know your opinion.)

Many thanks, ALFOR for the Ravel PC. Keenly waiting for more......
Blessed Festive Seasons and Happy New Year.
