Pianophilia

Malcolm! Welcome back!

To say that you've been missed is an understatement. I hope you are happy in Cornwall, as it is a beautiful city, and that you have found a prominent place for your piano in your new home. All us look forward to a resumption of your incredible postings of these great unknown Russians.

A compilation form Sibley of some note...

Hello All,

I would like to add to Malcolm's wonderful postings of Russian music by scanning my archives of this material as well. Starting here with Ladislas Aloiz (whom I believe has been mentioned before in this thread) I post Op. 33, a set of Three Morceaux. The second piece of this opus (an Etude) has been circulating for some time, but not the complete set of Morceaux.

Enjoy!
