Fairly easy, fairly simple, fairly sophisticated. Demands a certain pianistic precision to be performed properly.

**definitely my own scan

Thank you so much!

Thank you, Alfred for the lovely RUYNEMAN Sonatina. What a great little teaching piece as an introduction to "modern" music and great fun to play for us older folk.

The manuscript of Albeniz' Iberia can be found here:

Plus many printed and manuscript scores (for example by Malats), historic recital programs (Rubinstein, Querol, etc.) and many more items of interest!

Wow! Thanks Alfor; the Iberia manuscripts are a fabulous discovery (I really don't know how you managed to find them!). I've long considered Iberia one of the towering masterpieces of the piano repertoire, and it's uncanny to see the music as written by the master himself; plus I'm looking forward to check my score against the original and confirm whether a few of my long-standing suspisions about certain passages having misprints are really right.
Unfortunately the amount of practice in getting such technically (and interpretively!) intractible works like this together means I rarely have time during my practice time to sight- read your amazing contributions (and I suspect many of us would love to have more time to devote to discovering much more of the music you've made available to everyone), but thanks to you I've discovered a number of magnificent yet unknown pieces that I now play in recitals.

Cheers

Thank you for feedback!!

Very nice, Alfred! What a stylistic difference in Ruyneman's 9th sonata and his sonatinas--not surprising, of course, and this one is quite a bit more modern. I am fascinated by clarity with which he writes his scores, and I don't mean his handwriting (great), but the highly pianistic division of the notes (having a hard time expressing this!) --anyway, his intentions are not in doubt. This is technically a lot more challenging than his sonatinas. It would seem his reach is about a 9th--like mine....very few of the troublesome 10th which often frustrate me. That this is his 9th sonatas, this suggest there are 8 more sonatas laying in wait for an ambush by Alfor.

Had a real lark playing the Barvinsky sonata, and I agree a lot of enthusiasm and interesting gestures, but IMHO, somewhat lacking in organization, but this seems to be an early effort.

A real treat to see the Albeniz prelude...in red, no less. Well, we know of some composers who wrote multicolored scores, so guess this is the writing utensil of Albeniz' choice, at that time.! (I did get quite lost in the site you referenced, previously) I've compared this to one of the editions I have and I don't really see any differences.

Thanks for a great day at the piano.
