Salon music

[Phillip210]

You will shortly be able to download the excellent Valse Tourbillon by this French composer from http://imslp.org/wiki/Valse_Tourbillon, ... MSLP227222 . This is the only piece I own by him - does anyone have any more of his work?

No, but if you are interested in something, I should be able to get it for you....

As no-one seems to have uploaded anything by him to any other site, I would certainly be interested. A rough scan (split onto two pages as it is bigger than A4) of the extensive catalogue of his works appearing on the back of the score of the waltz can be viewed here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9999485/Landry%20catalog.pdf

Thanks for the waltz.
I just put Vacances champêtres by Landry on my site. I took it from Gallica and cropped it. (They had the title misspelled, which is often a problem with their files. Half of their piano pieces of Méreaux seem to be misnamed.)

An easy piece by Carl Heins who wrote a lot of easy salon music

Thank you HTIEKFR, especially for the Ketterer, always elegant. I thought first that Gustav Langer and Gustav Lange were the same, but it does not seem so. The Großmütterchen Ländler Op.20 appears to have been popular in German countries:

As you say, Carl Heins wrote a lot of easy salon music. Way too much, because it tends to be often bland and repetitive.

I thought first that Gustav Langer and Gustav Lange were the same, but it does not seem so.

JS are you sure? It appears that both Lange and Langer lived from 1830 to 1889.
Could it be that two different works by one man (with two alternative spellings
to his name) were published under the same opus number?

Ezra Read (1862-1922) apparently wrote this piece in 1899.
(It's perfect for ad lib embellishments as you play it through imo.)
