Pianophilia

I second any and all thanks for additional Blanchet scores. Here is a truly original composer and one who deserves much more widespread acclaim.

You may have known how a Chlochard looks like, you may have known how a Chloard smells like, - now you will know how a Chlochard sounds like!

Posted as an example of the piano style of this little known French composer:
Pierre PETIT (a.k.a. Peter Little)
Bois de Bologne
Cinq pieces pour piano:
La Caleche, Le Chlochard, Bagatelle, Le Banc, L'Allee cavaliere Max LAURISCHKUS (German composer, 1876-1929, pupil of Succo, Bargiel, Herzogenberg; best known as an arranger)
Skizzen für Pianoforte op. 17 (nice genre pieces - no trace of false sentiment) Paul de SCHLÖZER (obscure Polish/Russian pianist. I found no evidence for the assumption that he is a pseudonym of Moszkowski)
Etude de Concert op. 1,1 (double-note study) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Pzzrpg-IA

Thank you, Alfor, for all the unknown composers!!

Thanks for these new unknown composers, Alfor. Having just played "Le Chlochard" is certainly does bring to mind the image of "Freddy the Feeloader (if you're of a certain age & from North America). And what a wonderful performance of the SCHLÖZER etude by Josef Levhinne--it is easy to see what attracted the great pianist to this particular one in a fairly crowded field of similar etudes on 6ths.

I noticed that IMSLP has the companion etude to this, Op.1 Nr.2 which is a good workout for both hands and a nice performance of it is on YouTube.

The de Schlözer piece reminds me of Henselt, and particularly of his most famous etude "Si oiseaux j'étais..." Thanks as ever for posting all these rarities!

Sergei PROKOFIEV
