Recent sheet music acquisitions

I found a new sheet music shop in Antwerp last week and while I still don’t have Liszt’s Chorales, or Liszt’s transcriptions of Beethoven’s symphony number 7, I have some new stuff from there, and from Stretta online. I also added to my Henle library app.

On the latter, I added Consolation No 2 by Liszt which I will be starting soon as it is now on my Grade 8 syllabus. I have another edition of it which I will do a compare (mostly the book is gateway Liszt so I want to ensure it hasn’t been dumbed down in any way).

From Stretta, I picked up Early Morning in Istanbul by Fazil Say. I love his music and that has been on my list for a while.

From the bricks and mortar shop, I acquired the Rachmaninoff Moments Musicaux, the Henle edition because I dislike trying to read the Boosey edition. I also picked up some Slavonic dances by Dvorak (and now that I think of it, possibly one of his Humoresques went onto the Henle app as well). The Izmir Suite by Fazil Say arrived into my possession too – I wasn’t familiar with that particular piece and how bad could it possibly be? There are two pieces from it knocking on my ARSM repertoire list. We will see how it goes./

I also picked up the Liszt transcriptions of Schubert songs. I got that because Erlkonig is in it and I am a glutton for punishment. LAstly I picked the Barenreiter Edition of Pavane by Fauré which means I now have two different piano versions of this. Per the notes of the editor, a lot of different transcriptions of this are knocking around. Hmmm.
