Pianophilia

Here is a random piece which I hope hasn't been scanned before.

I have not seen this German scan before. So I scanned it last night.

Thanks to Parsonstreet and Igod82 for the new scans. Please remember to add NMS and TTTOS if the scans are not yours and you don't know the original scanner.

Regards
Fred

Field Piano Concerto No.1. Pre Dussek influence.

After 35,000 pages, I am beginning to get the hang of this scanning lark.

Just a couple of blurs where my 280lbs was insufficient to keep the book flat.

At 35,000 pages surely it must be the longest concerto ever written , longer than anything Sorabji ever envisaged? What says you Thal?
thanks for this though in any case.

Tobius August Matthay (1858-1945). English pinaist and teacher. Initially taught by private teachers, in 1871 he studied at the Royal Academy of Music with Dorrell (piano). Won the Sterndale Bennett scholarship, and studied further with Macfarren and Sterndale Beennett until the latter's death in 1875. Completed his studies with Sullivan and Prout. Appointed sub-professor of piano at the RAM in 1876, followed by sub-professorship of harmony in 1878 and full professor in piano in 1880. In the same year began to concertize extensively for the next 15 years, but his love of teaching gradually pulled him more towards that discipline. In 1895 he set up his own piano school in London, and the Matthay Piano System became famous both in the UK as well as abroad, and many students came to study with him. Matthay wrote about 100 pieces for the piano, as well as the Op 23 Concert Pieces for Piano & Orchestra, which I posted a few months back.

I have posted his 31 Variations and Derivations on an original theme Op 28. Malcolm

Thanks Malc, I had no idea Matthay was so prolific. However I must say I think I need to clean my reading glasses more often, I initially read it as "31 variations and deviations" which suggested a nickname for this piece as the kama sutra variations. Must now play them to see if I was right, we all know what the Victorians were like behind the doors and curtains.
with many thanks
