Alfor's Rarities
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 10:05 pm
First of all let me say, that I appreciate "normal" good quality printed and bound scores and would wish every score being (at reasonable prices) available in this "old-fashioned" form. But as this - for several reasons, which need not to be discussed - is not so with literally hundreds or thousands of interesting scores, I accept the "electronic score" as a complementary form of sheet music.
So sharing rare, deleted (piano) scores is one, if not the most important - or most wanted - feature of pianophilia.
It is useless to discuss the reasons why a lot of good music is buried in libraries - or only to find in antiquarian shops. - And when I say "good music" I mean music I would wish to be performed in public.
So I try to post scores, which are not only rare, but IMHO of a certain musical value.
Let's begin with a very fine example from the huge bulk of piano sonatas by soviet composers:
Yuri EGIKOV I leave it to my dear follow pianophilians to describe form and contents of this score!
P.S. all posted scores are my own scans.
