Pianophilia

Malc, thanks so very much for the very illuminating Wieniawski Etudes. These are really enjoyable pieces to play and I really like Etude 7 -- much fun.

It's a pity that book 3 is not quoted in any library

apart from the musical value of the Etudes, the dedication of each one to the greatest living pianists is very very interesting !

it might work

Ok yes, a few hours later they replied that had already sent the photocopies, no payment in advance !

unbelievable speed (by email of course)

not exactly my standard of b/w image but better than nothing

again it's amazing to see all those names in the dedications

I don't have the time to check the dates of birth and death of all the dedicatees, but there are 2 possibilities :

- the etudes had been written by W. in different years
- in that single year of composition pianists and musicians of very different epochs were living

Cheers and many thanks to Caprotti for his work and rather remarkable success in completing the Wieniawski etudes opus for us all !!!!

THANKS!!!!

At long last. It is wonderful to finally have the missing Etudes. I cannot thank you enough.
Amazing service too.
