Pianophilia

I am personally a big fan of both the concertos by Howard Ferguson and Roberto Gerhard (hard to consider him British, though). I have the score for the Gerhard, but I don't think I can post it here. I would personally love to see any others that haven't been posted here.

Well, thank you all for your suggestions. Very valuable indeed.
Just to let those know who have helped with such things in the past, I can happily confirm that a couple of weeks ago I played Field's 2nd Concerto in Kiev. And last November I played Liszt's Malediction (which Brian helped with a v rare 2-piano reduction) in Kirovograd (home to Neuhaus, Szymanowski and Blumenfeld) and this year will do same in Levoca and Zilina (Slovakia) and Ivano-Frankivsk and Kiev (Ukraine).
I had a listen to the Britten, and I feared the worst since I'm not usually very partial to his music. But I thought this was rather good. It might be coupled with Finnissy's 2nd (that requires strings and 2 alto flutes) and/or the Finzi. Thanks again, everyone!

The British composer Garnet Wolseley Cox (1874-1904) came from a military background - his father, Ambrose Wolseley Cox was a lieutenant in the Lancers, and Garnet (named after the Victorian general) was born in Ireland where his father was stationed. I know little about his life, except that his works were championed by Henry Wood in his Promenade Concerts (five of them were performed including two orchestral suites premiered in 1903 and (posthumously) 1907). One of his songs ('Those Azure Eyes') was performed in the 1901 and 1904 seasons by Wood's wife with Percy Pitt at the piano. This piece could go in the salon thread, but I am putting it here as he seems to have been noted in his lifetime for larger scale works.

Did the composer really look like this?

Looks a bit fishy to me Timtim!

Blows the wind southerly, one suspects, which is as everyone knows the recipe for relief in south-eastern Australia after a heatwave...

Question to the admins or anyone who knows. Can I share Clementi pieces on here from the Ut Orpheus edition? They are urtext but also very recently published. I've been scanning misc. piano pieces from a book I just got through interlibrary loan.

Problems can arise only when there is an evident editing job (i.e phrasing notes, even fingering and so on) : in this case the copyright extends to 25 years from the date of publication. If the text has not be "altered" I don't see any constraint. Typical examples of 25 years edition copyriting are those concerning to vocal scores of operas, e.g. Verdi's or Puccini's "revised versions" published by Ricordi.

I will post just a few out of respect to what Timtin said.

At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, thanks for these Alex!
