An interesting definition of the word 'brilliant'Scriabinoff wrote:Not unusual to give 'concert transcription' treatment to these, but first Theme and Var. I have come across.
Dear frlszt1811, Bronislaw Kaper's transcription of "Liebe war es nie" is excellent. Would it be possible that you make available also the nos 1, 2, 3, 6 from the list ? Also , what are two other piano transcriptions that you have mentioned ? My apetite is enormous .... !frlszt1811 wrote:Bronislau Kaper, the Hollywood composer, before coming to America, was working in Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s, composing some piano music with a classical/jazz fusion. He wrote some short solo piano pieces (still in manuscript) but published a set of 10 concert transcriptions of popular songs, in a set called "Jazz Drops". These were published by Alberti (Berlin) in the early 1930s.
He also composed some two piano transcriptions (which I have). However, I have not been able to locate FIVE of the ten transcriptions (I have Nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10). Alberti was apparently bombed out of existence in 1944 (no other publishing house holds its archives). WorldCat and other sources I have checked do not have any of the remaining scores. I would appreciate any help in locating the last five of the set.
(I am attaching No. 10 of the set which has a list of all ten concert transcriptions on the face sheet.)
