Hello Scriabinoff,

I tried posting a long reply three times, but PP spat me out three times.
I gave up.

Thanks for the posting
regards,

Strange. That must have been one hell of a reply. PP has a maximum message size of 60,000 characters

Regards
Fred

PS I can make it bigger if you wish...

Hi Fred Bouquet,

The reply wasn't THAT long - I don't think it was the length that caused the expectoration - some other glitch, - but still too long to remember and too tiresome to try and repeat for a fourth time.

as for the PS ... well who wouldn't wish for such endowments !!

regards,
tobyjj

I appreciate it and the extra effort, I am curious now as to what was in that reply but I am glad you enjoyed the upload and effort it took to get those volumes available

my alternate scan of the Grand Canyon Suite (maybe perhaps a bit easier to read in spots?).

For Scriabinoff:

The more I translated, the less it felt like this really belonged in the Soviet thread, despite the fact that most composers were from countries that, in 1987, were still stuck in the eastern bloc. Anyhow...

Wow- I've been looking for the Petyrek Wurstelprater score since I heard it on the 1992 Husum CD. Thank you.

Many thanks for this and your efforts!

I hope you can help with this last one. If we need to migrate this thing back to the Russian thread (or name the appropriate home) we can do that too.

A. Strock My last tango.
O. Moonlight Rhapsody strings.
O. Strings Oh, those black eyes.
E. Petersburgsky tired sun.
I. Berlin Homesickness. Boston.
E. Rosenfeld My Happiness.
Z. Kompaneyets Foxtrot.
A. Tsfasman I am infinitely sorry.
A. Tsfasman Joyful day. Quick foxtrot.
A. Tsfasman Stay with me. Slow Foxtrot.
A. Happy Tsfasman meeting.
N. Theological Old Coachman's Song.
K. Brune Paris tango.
Cucaracha. Mexican folk song. Arr. E. Vevrika.
I. Dunaevskii so many good girls. The song from the film "Jolly Fellows".
I. Dunaevskii eccentric dance from the operetta "The Way to Happiness."
V. Sidorov mystery.
Rio Rita. Paso Doble.
G. Stoggard Foxtrot from the operetta "Rose Marie."
J. Gershwin Love entered.
A song from the movie "Peter".
G. Warren Chattanooga choo-choo. From the music to the film "Sun Valley Serenade."
M. Zerkovich Tango.
C. Chaplin, Mandolin and love. The song from the movie "King of New York."

D. Ellington Believe me only.

This volume is probably just fine here, especially since it contains about as much American material (Gershwin, Ellington, Berlin, Chaplin, 'Chattanooga Choo-Choo') as it does Soviet material. As far as I can tell, the Soviet composers it does contain (e.g. Tsfasman, Z. Kompaneets) are all 'light music' or popular composers, not quite as serious as the usual fare in the Russian/Soviet Composers thread.

Wonderful postings,

Many thanks.
