Czech & Slovak Composers

[fleubis]

Seconded!
This one is quite different from the usual toccata style.

Good heavens! This Vol. 127....and that begs the question of where the other 126 volumes are!
Meanwhile, the highlights in this collection include Smetna's Souvenir de Boheme and Novak's beautiful song, Chant D'Allegresse - even J.B. Foerster and Suk put in an appearance. Something I particularly like is that is collection contains complete pieces rather than extracts.

Very nice, Alfred.

The good folks at the BNF have quite a few:

Indeed, they are all available on the BnF Gallica site and, published monthly between 1902 and 1914, contain a fascinating glimpse at the Parisian musical life of the period, plus the odd themed issue dealing with other countries, like this one. Typically, each issue would contain a couple of serious piano pieces, a couple of 'cafe' items (valse-bostons etc.), and a couple of songs. The magazines for which they were supplements are also available online (I can't immediately find the link - they are on an arts website and not on Gallica), and read almost like a contemporary celebrity magazine with lots of photos of musicians of the day. For example, one autumn issue has an article about 'what did our musicians do on holiday', and has a picture of Raoul Pugno off shooting on his estate!

Hi Phillip - I'd still love to see the rare Rummel score of Eilende Wolken, Segler der Lüfte if you can spare a scan!

As soon as I can find my score - my music is not well organised!

I have located it, scanned it, and uploaded it to IMSLP, where it should appear at http://bit.ly/Xl3tN0 as soon as it is copyright-approved.[/

I don't think I've seen this in circulation--Rudolf Friml's Chanson.

I don't see much of Kalliwoda's [Kalivoda] music on PP ...

I was seeking his Op. 12 - Waltzes - does anyone have any info on these? I did not see them listed in Berlin catalogue, either... May be an interesting hunt...

Worldcat shows a copy at the Badische Landesbibliothek published by Guillaume Paul in 1828 as well as a Nouvelle Edition by the same publisher from 1834.
