Thank you, Alfred.
You are welcome, dear fleubis!

Another rare and very nice fine, Alfred. This Boghen piece is quite lovely. According to the bio, she has a few other pieces which might be worth tracking down if they are anywhere near this quality. For shame that her opera 'Alcestis' was never performed, let alone not published.

Felice is an Italian MALE first name!!! Like Felix in German.
From wikipedia: „Meaning "lucky", "favored by luck" or "the lucky one". In America, it also means happiness.“

Got it wrong! Google translate was a little ambiguous here.
I think of the pieces you have posted by Boghen, that the Prelude - Chorale is his best piece and fox trot is, well, "ho-hum". The Nostalgia is quite the nice piece.
Alfred, am delighted that you have given this composer an airing.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking the score of this piece of Casella, Cocktail Dance. Someone has it?
Thanks,
Duirton

Casella is still under copyright - at least in Europe.
The piece is still in print. You can get it here:
