Dear Alfred, I am greatly enjoying your continued posting of the Sauer etudes. It is so much easier to read and thus play with these great hires scans. I especially like etude #27 and thanks to your pristine scan my eyes never tire of looking at the score. Hope you are successful in tracking down the others, as these are very worthwhile set.

To fleubis, with compliments:

Many thanks for all these recent goodies! On a related topic, has the Reizenstein Sonata No. 2 been come across?

Reizentein died in 1968, so copyright issues would prevent any postings of his works here.

Alfred, the BRODERSEN etudes are very much to my liking. I have a great fondness for well written studies like this. I am especially enthusiastic about how the composer treats the left hand--he always gives the left something very interesting to do, so these are not one of those many old 19th century collections of right hand etudes. You are right on the mark about the Chopin and Scriabin influence. For instance the very first etude is quite reminiscent of Chopin Op.10 No.1 and there are a couple other obvious comparisons, but Brodersen has his own voice and his own ideas and occasionally borne out with the Scriabinesque harmonies which occur now and then. This is another great find.
