Thanks very much, Malcolm. No rush at all. I have lots of pieces to work on:
Bortkiewicz's D flat Etude 15/8
Dora Pejacevic's Blumenleben
Edward German's Valse-Caprice
and more, thanks to you and pianophilia.

I am not sure if this goes here, but does anyone have any music by the Macedonian composer Zivojin Glisic/Glishik? I have seen his name spelled a number of ways (transliteration variation, I guess). I heard a nice piece of his played by Simon Trpčeski on the daily show Performance Today.

Was it Glisic's Prelude and Pajduska by any chance?

Not sure where to place this question, but is there a set of Preludes by Schostakovich other than his Op. 34 and 87?

No. And op.87 is not exactly only prelused.

Yes I know, but what is this? Different composer?

op34 no13
op34 no14 (incidentally there is an orchestration of this by Stokowski which is completely devastating)
op34 no15
op34 no16
op34 no17

I'm clearly not even remotely familiar with the Shostakovitch Preludes, so thanks a lot rob, appreciated!

Shostakovich's Prelude in Db Op34 No15 was made famous as the theme tune to the 1980s BBC sitcom
'Ever Decreasing Circles', starring Richard Briers. I doubt if many who watched it actually realised who
had written it, since Shostakovich's music is generally regarded in this country as modern and difficult,
which this attractive tune certainly isn't.
