See the news item from FredB in the 'News' section - Fred is the tech whizz.

Thanks very much for the d'Albert Bagatelles, Alfor.

The Nocturne is lovely and the Intermezzo is a delight.

Thank you, Alfor !! Amazing stuff as usual...I must however mention, that Karg-Elert, is the most rare for me, and another of the underrated composers, and it would be great to have all the Aphorismen, and the remaining Bagatellen...

Thank you, Alfor. Like Dani, KARG-ELERT continues to surprise me with the quality of his writing; the more I play it the more I like it. And what's not to like about Godowsky?--I continue to enjoy his often times challenging pieces so these delightful waltzes are wonderful cool breeze.

Facundo de la VINA (obscure Sapnish composer)
Seis Impresiones (it is strange that many Spanish composers tend towards France and vice versa!) Some more

It is Sunday. Time to give your right hand a rest :

Emile-Robert BLANCHET
64 Preludes
Etudes contrapuntique de technique transcendante op. 41
Serei IV Exercises pour la main gauche seule Treize Etudes pour la main gauche seule op. 53

Thanks for the Blanchet, Alfor. I welcome this opportunity to upgrade my working copies with these pristine hi-res versions. These 64 Preludes get a lot of play on my piano, many thanks to you.
