Pianophilia

Thank you guys for the great discussion of Hungarian composers and the PDF files. Have a question for you. Does anyone have access to Heller's Dix Pensees Fugitives (Op. 30)? The IMSLP has it (or at least 4 of the 10), but it is in such poor condition one cannot really use it. Carol

I found 2, 3, 7 and 8 at the Library of Congress website and put them on my website. They are somewhat better than the scans you mention.

uploaded to IMSLP the complete set. i.e. the attached

Jakab Gyula Major [Jules J Major....real name was Mayer] (1858 - 1925). Hungarian pianist, conductor and composer. Studied with Volkmann, and graduated from Budapest Conservatoire in 1882. He took up various teaching positions in Hungarian schools.
Wrote Two Piano Sonatas, the one I've posted is Op 68, the earlier one in A major is Op 35. He also wrote a Concert Symphonique Op 12 for Piano & Orchestra [one to hunt down Thal], plus 5 symphonies, 3 operas, violin concerto, cello concerto, quartets and much piano music.

Dear friends,

as for Hungarian Library I have never seen anything larger than this

http://fulltext.lib.unideb.hu/chamber/bin/notes.cgi

It is mostly Violin and Piano music, but at the end of this list you can find some Piano solo music.

Here is the index page for image download

I hope some of you can find this site useful...

Dear Biljana,
thanks for this link.
Despite the clumsy download it's really very useful.
