I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but it would
be great to see a pdf of the score shown in this YouTube
video of the Horowitz Carmen Variations. Thank you.

Apologies for my long silence.....but have just started another major project to post on Pianophilia that alone will contain 700-800 pages of music. Hopefully, should have that ready to post in the next 2-3 weeks [and sorry......no clues as to the composer]

In the meanwhile a couple of items I recently found.

Fyodor Khristoforovich Bubek [Theodor Christofor Bubeck]. Born 1866, Stuttgard: died 1909, Moscow. Organist, teacher and composer. Initial studies at Stuttgard Conservatoire; continued at the Moscow Conservatoire with Ippolitov-Ivanov and Taneyev, graduating in 1898. He remained in Russia and taught organ at the conservatoire from 1905 until his early death in 1909. Although not strictly Russian, he tends to be mainly associated with the Russian school of music and composers.

Heraclius Dzhabadari (Djabadary). Born Tbilisi, Georgia in 1891: died 1937, Nice in France. Showed much promise from an early age and enrolled with the Tbilisi Conservatoire. By the time of the 1905 Revolution, he was sent to Brussels Conservatoire, where he studied theory with Gevaert, and piano with de Greef. In 1909 he went to Vienna to resume his studies in harmony, counterpoint, fugue and composition with Heuberger. At the same time he prepared for the concert platform through studying the Leschetitzky method under Wolfson. His first concert under Nedbal in 1913 included the Chopin E minor, Grieg’s concerto as well as his own Op 2 Georgian Rhapsody to great acclaim.

Shortly after that concert he returned to his homeland, where he wrote articles and lectured on Georgian music. He left Georgia in 1914 never to return. Via Paris, he first moved to Switzerland, where he wrote numerous works including his opera ‘Gulnara’. Then to Vienna again, where he composed works inspired by Hungarian folksong [his wife was Hungarian] – however, financial difficulties interfered with his concert plans, although he did continue to compose.

Dzhabadari returned to Paris in 1923, and performed many concerts under the direction of Touche, Paray and Wolff. However, his wife’s failing health put an end to his musical activities whilst he cared for her from 1930 until her death in 1934. He himself also suffered from tuberculosis. In the Autumn of 1935 he left Paris to live in the more clement climate in Nice. Here he continued composing; he reworked the piano part of his first concerto and continued to compose, his last work being his Op 33 ‘Les Moments Vécus : Barczy Marguit’ Symphonic Poem for Orchestra. He died in Nice in 1937.

Majority of his scores and manuscripts can be found in the National Library in Paris. Wrote three piano concertos of which No. 3 has been recorded [and a lovely piece it is]. I have attached a full works list for anyone who is interested (in MS Word).

And apologies, this was a very large score and only just managed to squeeze it onto my scanner.

Welcome back, Malcolm. I certainly do like the Djabadary. That dance is full of vigor well written. I hope you uncover more of his music. Great fun with this piece this rainy morning.

There seems to be some Gliere material available here. However, the scans don't seem to be of high quality

Very fine indeed, Aggelos. I had no idea Siloti had transcribed the whole thing! As usual an impeccable transcription which I'm sure all ballet companies are sensible enough to use, and in a good scan to boot~

Very much appreciated.

Hello Members,
Does anybody have this work?
Alexander Krein
Op 44 Dance Suite for the PIano
and First Editions of Alexander Mosolov's Piano Sonatas - The files circulating on internet (Published in 1990s) contain a lot of misprints
Thank you!

Has Krein's Dance suite been found in the mean time ? I am very interested in it as judging from Gottliebs two- piano transcription
this is a great piece.

Two smaller works from Feodor Akimenko (1876-1945).

The Menuet is from Deux Pieces published by Leduc in 1924 .

Akimenko F - Menuet in D major.pdf

The other work is from a Suite Miniature unknown to me until only a week ago - managed to purchase No. 5 Valse pour une fillette - and I am currently trying to locate the remaining pieces.

Apologies - not fantastic copies as both very large and very delapidated scores (plus, I could do with a bigger scanner) !
