Pianophilia

Like some of the previous Russian salon pieces I posted earlier on these thread - here are two more, although I am unable to locate any information about the composers - although both seem to live late 19th / early 20th century and composed a number of salon pieces (Ovenberg was likely Ukrainian, and Adam Lewandowski probably from Poland, when under Tsarist rule).

Both scanned in greyscale as paper was very yellowed with age.

A Ovenberg Adam Lewandowski

Thanks Malcolm. Nice to have another Swan Song to go with Harry Farjeon's.

Any information on this piece or it's composer?

The only info I see is the composer being identified as "Dikusarov". Would this be Viktor Dikusarov, the composer of accordeon music? Many thanks.

He's the only Russian composer I know of with this name.............and was not aware he had written any specific piano music unless it's a transcription of one of his pieces ?

Thanks Malcolm. It may well be an accordeon piece - he did write a Prelude in B-flat minor. I've found some of his scores online and will keep looking. Here's a bio in Russian if anyone is interested.

Found it. It is indeed an accordeon piece. I wonder if this is her own transcription. I've posted a copy here:

Sorry if covered elsewhere previously and I missed.
Sergei Vasilenko, somehow missed this guy (thought I knew all the kids that studied under Taneyev).
Interesting style, read the wiki said he gravitated towards mysticism so I wonder if there is any loose ties or influence from-to Scriabin.

Wiki says he wrote piano music. Imslp has some transcription and 4h work. The piano concerto is nice. Any solos we know of, and if so, any scores to be found? Anyone recorded any of the said piano music? There was a toccata release of viola/piano works which i'll be checking out. Just curious.

thanks all

Scriabinoff - unfortunately Vasilenko primarily wrote chamber / orchestral music (much very colourful), and I am only aware of a couple of piano pieces beyond the Piano Concerto. The majority of works for piano are transcriptions of his orchestral works - a few for piano solo but in the main for either piano / 4 hands or two pianos.
