Pianophilia

Thank you for all good wishes!!

The problem I have with Walter is, that his music is too good for the drawing room (or salon),
but in most cases not quite good enough for the concert hall.
One exception might be this excellent opus:
Walter NIEMANN
Scarlattiana Drei kleine Sonaten in der Art des Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)
für Klavier oder Cembalo op. 126 A milestone in the genre of stylised jazz:
Erwin SCHULHOFF
Suite dansante en jazz (1931) hrs600

..."As I like to surprise you with extremely rare works"...

Hugo WOLF
10 Klavierstücke nach Liedern
Gesetzt von Bruno Hinze-Reinhold Hugo WOLF (arr. Max Reger)
12 Möricke-Lieder

Aflor, thanks for these. I would agree with you on the Niemann. That said, his works are great sight-reading material and fun to play and only occasionally pose technical challenges. That's why he's nice to have around the piano desk. Can't spend all ones time on the technical challenges one might encounter in a Blanchet etude.

Dear Alfor,

thanks a lot for your never-ending flood of rare scores for the piano-addicted. Regarding W. Niemann - did you find any of the missing scores, which were still to be located: op.10, Reisebilder - missing Nr.3 ; op.16 Weihnachten; op.57, 3 poetische Studien - missing Nr.1; op.58 Was den Kindern Freude macht - 24 Klavierstücke; op.64a, Efeu und Rosen; op.94, 2 Klavierstücke - Nr.1 missing and op.101, 2 kleine Walzer - Nr.1 missing ?
All the other works have never been published and seem to exist only in manuscript or may be lost during WW 2.

All the best wishes for 2011

Paul

btw, they should be all available in Berlin St.Bibl.

101 2 kleine Walzer x (2) berlin 198984
94 2 Klavierstücke x (2) berlin 197315
64 Efeu und Rosen berlin 273619
58 Was den Kindern Freude macht - 24 Klavierstücke berlin 187011
57 3 poetische Studien x (2,3) berlin 17375
16 Weihnachten berlin 13854
10 Reisebilder x (1,2,4) n.3 berlin 73328

Dear Caprotti,

thank you for this hint, I'll try an order early in 2011. All the Niemann sores I posted here lest year were ordered via interlibrary-loan at my old University Bayreuth. For the works listed above they told me "not found in any german libraries" - so this means that the library in Berlin does not work together with the other german libraries. Sad!

All the best

Paul

Guten Rutsch ("Happy Sliding") - as we use to say in Germany

To Dr. H. (a.k.a. Frank), who may know one or the other of the following "American song hits" -
I Frank-ly have to admit, that I do not know any of these:

Alec TEMPLETON
Piano Sketches:
My Blue Heaven
Linger awhile
Sleepy time gal
I'll see you in my dreams
At sundown
In a little spanish town
Swingin' down the lane To Sir M. and Mr. P. (a.k.a. "The Fab Two") and to Ferrrucccio (the Iron Man - literally):

Valery Viktorovich ZHELOBINSKY
6 Studies op. 19 (incl. a TOCCATA)

Hey Alfor,

thanks for these two - of course particularly for the Zhelobinsky. Worthful stuff !

Guten Rutsch !!

I love Alec Templeton. I guess one reason is that some of my best piano students have been blind.
I cannot put any Templeton sheet music on my site because of copyright laws but I can share a radio program performance with you.
