I wanted to open a new topic about Impressionism ( Pictures / Paintings ) in Music.
I think, out there is so much more than "just" Debussy, Ravel, Griffes or Albéniz.
It should be a discussion about Composers from mid 19th century to early / mid 20th century
from around the world.

Not sure if the Lithuanian M.K. Ciurlionis counts as an impressionist, but he lived in the era you mention and was prolific both as a composer and as an artist. This Youtube video gives a glimpse into both his compositional and artistic skills.

Hi everybody,
Here are some manuscripts of rather obscure works.
If somebody has the time to engrave,
I'm happy for any reply
Regards

Wow, how interesting with some good names as Roussel, Canteloube, Manuel and others, less known.
Although engraving these scores may be convenient, I observe the great quality of the musical calligraphy for most of them. The score by Bartholony could be more perfect already.

I thought the same though.
Yes, Bartholoni is perfectly readable, i'd say that aswell.
I posted them anyway, for all to enjoy.
All of them were dedicated to Viñes. Which was a rather obscure pianist aswell. So that's why i put them into this thread.
Anyway, if somebody has the time to engrave, i'd be happy

Ricardo Vines obscure ? We don't have the same definition of the word. He was definitely one of the most famous pianists of his time.

I meant obscure in a most positive way though.

This is a private score only accessible through this link. I had to do a lot of wrestling with Musescore's inability to handle cross-staff notation when there are more than two staves in the score.
The uploaded score also has some "spillover" in measures 40 and 41 which are not present in my local file.
Let me know if you see any egregious errors, particularly in the French annotations which are sometimes a bit hard to read.

Congratulations. Just a few corrections :
page 1 : « p mais bien en dehors et expressif »
page 2 : « ... mais toujours dans un sentiment de calme »
page 5 : « mais le chant seul en dehors »
The free version stops at page 6.
