Any news on posting this PDF? I would love a copy, please and thank you!

You’re not at all the first to rubbish Bach, if I only go so far as citing a friend who is a prolific blogger and has a blind spot about “intellect” in composition, and decries the formal aspects of Bach’s work. She wrote a piece equating Bach’s liking for lots of semiquavers as being without rhyth...

Oh sorry, I just saw that... I just skimmed through haha

I suppose sostenuto would be good for the opening of Mahler's 1st, if anyone would be interested in playing it on piano (apologies if this has already been mentioned)

CURSES!!! DAMNED COPYRIGHT LAWS!!!

Oh well... thanks for the info, though! Now I can rest more easily... somewhat... no not really...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the climaxes in Mahler's 6th. Among others already mentioned in the forum, here are some of my favorites (if I don't mention where in the piece, assume it's somewhere in the piece): The second hammer blow in the finale to Mahler's 6th The ending of Stravinsky's Rit...

What about the opening of Saint-Saëns' 2nd Piano Concerto? I think that that's actually more commonly played with the damper pedal, but the sostenuto pedal could work too, since I think Saint-Saëns was looking to emulate the effect of a sustained organ pedal. I don't remember if it is explicitly men...

For the record, I have found that the same applies to Mahler's 2nd symphony as well!

Can anyone explain to me why Mahler's 7th Symphony is currently under TB status? http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.7_%28Mahler,_Gustav%29 From what I've seen from other posts in this forum, it seems like the only reason why something published way before 1920 (in this case, 1909) to be under copyrig...

To all the ensemble pieces, prolly

What of the 1919 Firebird Suite?

Just to clarify, I mean that if the arrangement has been already done and published for piano, it wouldn't be much fun to do another piano reduction. Wow..... my wording is off today. Not necessarily. People may have fresh ideas on how to transcribe a certain effect and one can substantially improv...

WOOT!!!!!! That's the optimism we need

CRUD. oh well.

.......... ummmmmm getting back on topic.... Moszkowski's Spanish Dance No. 2 for violin and piano (per a friend's request) Stravinsky's Rite of Spring for 2 pianos (just because I felt like it... and I'm not sure that it's playable...)
