Well, that's what I thought. Shame there's no recordings of Riesemann. If he was a good friend of Rachmaninoff maybe he inherited some of his qualities

Dear Alfred, you have posted a lot of pieces for which I need to express my appreciation. All worthy pieces. To highlight two; I especially enjoyed the first Riesemann elegy and its lush chromaticism. Most of all, it was with great pleasure I sat down to enjoy the Gernsheim Stimmungsbilder, a wonderful conclusion to your postings by this unjustly neglected composer. The 3rd piece in this collection is quite different from his other compositions, and it looks like a fun thing for me to orchestrate this weekend.

While sometimes a bit "ad usum delphini", K.'s piano pieces are always
very well written and often quite charming.

Being an illiterate Anglo-Saxon peasant, I had to look-up the meaning of the above.
Apparently, it's to do with removing the naughty bits from the classics, then reprinting
them in Latin. Applying this phrase to music is an interesting concept, which goes
way over the head of such a simpleton as me!

Quite unusual interests for a German composer of his generation!
This should not be missed!!!

To Frank, who is enriching pianophilia not only by many interesting uploads,
but also by his illuminating comments.
Heinrich von HERZOGENBERG
Fünf Clavierstücke op. 37
Herzogenberg 5 Clavierstücke op.37.pdf
Good, solid 19th century writing; less Brahms influence than in op. 25.
Observe the unusual way of dotting on page 11.
