With Isokani's permission, and especially for Sernov, Dani_area_51, Alfor and all those that hungry for Konstantin Eiges. This will be one of several postings of works by the composer - but, sorry, will not include the two sonatas and Op 2 Kukushka pending the release of Isokani's CD of piano music by Eiges (but will post these once I have Isokani's permission]. Something to look forward to later in the year.
