Thanks.

I can't understand the handwriting at all, but here is my 'table of contents'. It would appear that the editors 'processed' (обработка) most of the works and the others (1,3,4,9, and 20) are 'transposed'. Pretty much all of the composers are of the 'popular' or 'light' variety of Soviet musicians who wrote lots of film music, popular songs, and the like. We've seen some names, like Tsfasman's, in other similar volumes. I've mostly seen these names in volumes of popular piano/accordion-accompanied songs:

Tangoes, for piano ('Music for Leisure' series) (1983) (edited and compiled by A. Polonsky)

1. Arno BABAJANYAN (BABAJANIAN) (Armenia) - Your Footprints

Thanks for sharing!

I chatted w a member recently who had missed this volume so I'm bumping to bring attention to it again.
Had a chance to sit down and make a little recording of the first work in the album and thought others might like to see/hear it. I am playing /w the idea of plowing through the whole thing and recording them all (lots of irons in the fire so not married to the project...yet ).
Also, wasn't sure if this had been shared here as it took me a while to hunt it down so including the original score to the work the tango transcription is based on along w/ a very nice recording by what I believe is a community/private music school in Russia.

recording of "Traces" or "Footprints" (not yet sure on which is more correct)

Babajanian-Yevtushenko Your Traces.pdf

I think I have basic google translate lyrics, though again they are pretty awful get getting it right...
Your footprints
in the snow drifts along the river.
As of mica,
they are thin.
Slightly frost
crumbs Two-Lake,
and the stars in them shaking,
light, like embers. 'll take a hand even used one of your track, but only touch it - he just snow, he razlipaetsya,
he breaks down, And in one hand water, And there is no trace. traces of ice inside your parting, but turn around but
turn the traces back through the alien footprints through the Distance - In his own tears, in his own footsteps.
Love - that track, Where floats star, Love - the light What good. But until the last years of tears traceless not,
Because there is no trace, What are disappearing without a trace. traces of ice inside your parting, but turn around but
turn the traces back through the alien footprints through away was - In his own tears, in his own footsteps

Question to members, can someone confirm the odd way of notating chords in the LH? It seems M is used for minor triads and then intervals as well for 7ths or 6ths? I've seen a lot of ways to use them but it seems almost figured base derived but simplified? Any other examples of their use anyone can share chime in on ? Anyone know what the convention-notation style is called?

Thank you, Malcolm. It has indeed been a long time since we've seen any Rakov here so was delighted to see--and play--this little suite. Rakov's harmonic world is interesting and often surprising and fairly tame here.

[caostotale]

Thanks Malcolm and Jim for the recent posts.

Thank you my friend! That is a great piece of information on a most obscure composer, which I'm sure will delight Malcolm as a new addition to his monumental biography of the great Russian/Soviet composers. Very much appreciated.

All Best,
