Pianophilia

Thank you, Emil. Very nice indeed. The Turkish Fragments sound vaguely familiar....somewhere I've heard those tunes before. And that March is certainly a nice bit of tongue-in-cheek.

I believe that there are some veiled works of obscure composer Sergei Protopopov.
I found the Link of the concert and they had performed some unpublished works .

Prelude dialogue для скрипки и фортепиано (1917)
Мария Ходина, скрипка
Даниил Екимовский, фортепиано
Прелюдия «Пейзаж», opus 32 N.1 (1936)
Даниил Екимовский, фортепиано
We can find the opus number '32', so I assume that there are more unknown pieces by this composer? (The last opus number that I could find was 'Op.25', 2 Lermontov Songs)

Thank you.
Emil

I was at that concert, if it was the one about 3/4 years ago! I had just played a concert in Rakhmaninovski zal. There are more pieces, all in ms in the Glinka Library.

re Kosenko piano works gaining more traction in recordings

I came across a pre order opportunity for Shkod'as volume three/next installment. As of yet unreleased, I cannot find it in current releases or 'in prep' status on Toccatta's website but my lead shows availability as soon as 11-15. Anyone able to confirm this? This would include the first complete recordings of the Op 8 etudes (which up till now we only had a selection mainly from Juliana Osinchuck's recital album and more recently a nod on promotional of Violina Petrychenko's channel, she just relased a couple very good Ukranian piano music albums, the videos are beautiful, recordings are top notch ie https://youtu.be/VARbsluYNdg & https://youtu.be/iIbz1HxInrI ). I was coincidentally (unbeknownst to me at the time of selecting) a couple of the op 8 etudes so I'm curious as what she does with these. I hope to share my videos of these upon completion in hopefully mid/late 2016).

thanks for any help.

Scriabinoff - I've seen it listed on Amazon.com (US version) being available from 14th November (I have copy on order as very keen to hear the Op 8 etudes which I consider one of Kosenko' most beautiful works).

Great to see Centaur are continuing this series, that originally started with Toccata.

many thanks for the confirmation. I suspected as much but didn't want to get my hopes up if there was chatter of a delay in the release since for some reason I couldn't link to an official Centaur announcement.

Sabaneyev! I have copies already... played Sonata last night in Saarbrucken, tonight in Karlsruhe, with pieces by Obukhov, Lourie, Wyschnegradsky, Stravinsky, Prokofiev.

Isokani, you have no idea how much I hunger to hear a program like that. Thank goodness for Toccata! Stocks expected soon.

Morning Serenade - Romeo and Juliet - piano solo - Sergej Prokofiev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhX4eC8iCSo

Always room for good Prokofief transcriptions. Thanks for posting, Mercuzio.

does anyone know of a good "study" edition of Rachmaninoff's 1st Piano Sonata, with fingering, etc.? Has anyone played this work and is willing to offer any tips, advice for difficult sections... ??
