Pianophilia

Malc, it should be Karl Wilhelm Greulich (1796-1837), a Berlin based composer.

A slightly more "wordy" version of Czerny - etudes by Ettore Pozzoli (1873 - 1957):

Biography
Born in the Italian city of Seregno, Ettore Pozzoli began his career soon after he received his music diploma from the Milan Conservatory in 1895. While writing music for piano and orchestra, he started teaching at the Milan Conservatory. His works on theory and solfeggio, even now days considered the basis of the studies of any pianist, are known for the progressive difficulty, for harmony and counterpoint. His composition “Danza fantastica” was chosen in 1956 as the compulsory piece for competitors at the sixth World Accordion Contest in Danzica. Pozzoli died on the 9th of November 1957 in Seregno (Italy), where, since 1959, an international piano contest in his honour takes place organized by the City.

If I may correct you, the title of the first collection of studies you posted is Moto (italian word for motion), not Molto (which means very) rapido.
Thanks for these works!

Not to forget his elementary-level 24 Etudes: http://www.mediafire.com/?mmjx1wed2zm

Heaven forbid...our Etudes thread now on page 2....so a little something to drag it back to the 1st page.

The composer is alive and still composing as opposed to dead and decomposing! (*sorry*)

Please look at the rules of the forum again.

I can not seem to find any biographical material on Charles Scharres - but nonethless two etudes from his set of three [and I'm trying to still find No. 1]!!!

To those who love etudes...............!

Malcolm & Sir P

Silly me....the Scharres Etude No.1 is on page 11 of this thread [though the name seemed familar]

Malcolm

Edward German...a name fairly familar in British music ......his concert study in Ab major.
