Pianophilia

imslp is there for that purpose ...
btw, the complete volumes of Liszt Lieder arranged by Singer was available in a reprint from Elibron; the russian site doesn't have all the volumes of the set

If, like me, you rather like rare Rossini operas arranged for piano solo,
then check out recent additions to IMSLP. Astonishingly, Caprotti has
uploaded no less than 21 of them there in the last 2 weeks, from the
complete Sauer and Leidesdorf edition. It's a dream come true!

That is incredible. Caprotti is quite the unsung hero. My gracious thanks!

Not my scans ! Anyway it was a great surprise to see online all those beauties. I had given up all hope to see a "Donna del lago" 2H !

btw reconsidering all the different kinds of opera scores, I realized that there are several categories :

1) well known operas written after 1840 ca. : printed in full score, vocal scores, 2H and so on (e.g.Wagner, Verdi, Berlioz, Meyerbeer...)

2) less known operas or operas performed only until the end of 19th century : published in vocal scores and 2H, no printed full score; manuscript fs copies available for performance; new critical editions only when a 'renaissance' took place during the 20th century (e.g.Rossini)

3) operas no more performed after their time (e.g. Cimarosa, Paisiello ...) : only full score manuscript copies or autograph full scores available

4) operas performed a few times even in those old times : only full score autograph available, no good manuscript copies

I'll upload to IMSLP a lot of examples of the two last categories, hoping that my work can contribute to some revival !

At the very least, links required please. For this sort of quality stuff, we have enough space if you want to upload them here as well.

Here is another new transcription. I'm glad you all enjoy my efforts. I will continue to work! This post is dedicated to Caprotti for his continued excellence, even though the previous opera uploads on IMSLP were not his scans it seems that many many more pieces are!

Thank you so much Alex, you are able to transform complicate full scores into much readable piano ones, and it's a joy to play those !
