Keyboard delghts, Alfor! Indeed they are. The very interesting Grosz Tanzsuite has everyone in familiar territory until the final movement where we're surprised with a rather unexpected Polka. Very well constructed as you say and so are the Weiner pieces with the lovely Hungarian rhythms. Much fun--thanks Alfor.

...my internet spirits did not want me to post yesterday. Indeed a better day today: birthday of Domingo...and of my mother, who btw is also a singer!

I have been told that there are two or three British gentlemen in this forum, who have a special interest in soviet composers. If this holds true, may I humbly request a line of feedback?

I have been told that there are two or three British gentlemen in this forum, who have a special interest in soviet composers.

I think it's safe to say that my fellow Brits Malcolm, Isokani, and Rob are all very hot on Russian and Soviet composers.
Btw, thanks for the Austin.

ex-pats too!
I used to have this book along with a lot of other communist-inspired books about Russian music back in the early 70's, most were not particularly well translated so I sold them on to a very hippy second hand LP shop who were delighted with them. Nostalgia aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
