Pianophilia

Hello Caprotti

I just wanted to also express my thanks for following up on this lead and sharing with everyone on PP. I had vol. 1, 2 & 4 for some time but had never been able to track down Book 3 so I am very grateful to you for obtaining this.

I noticed the same library had further rare works by Wieniawski, which would be good to have eventually.

Many thanks again - greatly appreciated.

Gilbert Alcock, pupil of Sir Frederick Bridge and younger brother of Sir Walter Alcock (of organ primer and Westminster Abbey fame), Gilbert was organist at St. Johns, Meads in Eastbourne for 48 years and composed a few organ works as well as songs, choral and instrumental works, I have a Menuetto of his for organ.

Hopefully I haven't scanned this in vain.

Thanks for the info on Gilbert Alcock. BTW, you wouldn't have a copy of Sir Walter's 'Introduction & Passacaglia' laying around would you?

Hi Parsonstreet,

Thank you for a very formidable set of etudes, which I am sure very few people have seen. I think there is a page missing.....between page 30 and 31 (as numbered in the pdf file). I will check the score over more carefully, but that one popped up so I wanted to let you know.

Thanks again.

I have just checked the book and that is how the page changes in the peice.

It does look rather fractured.

Also I needed a bigger scanner.

What else can I say but yes to that and a formidable piece it is too, I will scan it for you.

Hans Huber (1852 – 1921), Swiss composer. Born in Eppenberg-Wöschnau (Canton of Solothurn). The son of an amateur musician, Huber became a chorister and showed an early talent for the piano. In 1870 he entered Leipzig Conservatory. In 1877 he returned to Basel to teach, but did not obtain a post in the Conservatory there until 1889; seven years later he became its director. He wrote eight symphonies, several concertos including 4 for piano, and a number of piano works.

Hope to eventually post a number of works by Huber....but to start his Six Etudes [thank you Mr P].
