Warning:

Please can I alert members to be very cautious with posting any scores by Grainger.

Grainger died in 1961 and as such, his works will be within copyright. I do not mind the odd posting of a score, so long as that score is clearly no longer available in print [but please check thoroughly that the score is not in publication]. In the main I suspect most of his works remain in current circulation and hence not suitable to be posted on Pianophilia.

Thank you.

Rachmaninov Ashkenazy How Fair This Spot Op 21 No 7 for voice and piano transcribed for solo piano

Rachmaninov Ashkenazy How Fair This Spot Op 21 No 7 for voice and piano transcribed for solo piano.pdf

from a old back issue of Piano Today magazine that was archived in the library. I could not find this in print or for sale anywhere. Also any mention of this work is attributed to an annonymous transcriber but Ashkenazy apparently did this for just this issue and thus this transcription in particular I have not seen appear anywhere else.

The best representation of this piece I could find is linked below. It is almost exactly as transcribed except for a couple places where the rhythm varies ever so slightly (I believe I heard two eighth notes played vs the dotted eighth - sixteenth figure, but he may very well have made these changes after recording this).

based on what I could search this cannot be found anywhere except maybe as I did via back issues/preserved copies. sincere apologies if I missed any currently commercially available versions of this. also, I had considerable trouble generating a clean black and white version of this as the magazine gloss, thin pages, and how they were bound (large number of magazines into a single hard back volume) made it so that every black and white scan I made had almost all of the bar lines missing.

Thanks are again in order for the Ashkenazy /Rachmaninov
Song transcription of How Fair This Spot. A lovely arrangement.
You are certainly giving us a lot of pleasure with the music
you are putting on this site.
Peter.

Hello Scriabinoff,

Having looked again at Scribd site - it seems, although I am an account holder (still!), that there is very little I can download without being a "Premium Reader". Am I missing some other access portal?

hmm no expert on the matter am I but I have never had any problems in the past. Perhaps upload a handful/several documents (nothing major you can delete them later just pull some public domain scores off IMSLP or other interesting PDF or doc files and throw them up there and give the system a chance to recognize your uploads. I believe they charge people that don't regularly contribute content (at least that is how it seemed to operate when I first started using it). If that does not not work, maybe it's in their 'small print' somehwere?...

also sometime this week, I should have some very nice Moskowski transcriptions up on my SoundCloud to demo (one I studed last spring and the other two are tentative/possible projects for 2013). will message you when I get it all sorted out.

PS @ liveforpiano, you're (and all others) super welcome. glad I could come across a few pretty things and share them.

EDIT-SoundCloud updated to include three Moszkowski transcriptions by Beethoven and Mozart.

Marco Enrico Bossi's Hochszeit-Marsch Op110 No4 for organ in the composer's transcription for piano solo. The original score is crumbling to dust but fortunately the notes are still intact. (Thanks to the wide margins of old.) If anyone has the original organ score would you please post same? Thanks.

I have a request: Does anybody know of any piano transcriptions of pieces by Jean-Féry Rebel? I've been listening to his music a lot recently and find him quite fascinating, but have yet to find a piano transcription of anything he's written. Perhaps one doesn't exist... But either way, at least some information would be very much appreciated.

Three Wagners: yet another version of the Liszt; a Bridal Chorus extraction by an unknown arranger and the overture to Rienzi which appears to be a re-engraving from the vocal score that is available on IMSLP.

Otto Taubmann's transcription of selections from the ballet music to Mozart's Les Petits Riens--this consists of the overture and eight of the other thirteen movements. A set of five of the pieces from this was posted a while back in Thal's Hay on Wye Thread. A complete transcription by Renaud de Vilbac can be found on IMSLP.
