Hello,

does anyone have the Mazurkas by Theodor Leschetizky and would be willing to copy and send them to me?

I have been looking for it but it is out of print. Such wonderful music!!

Thank you very much
Kind regards
Chris

I found them at IMSLP:

FWIW, I don't think I've ever seen the typeface used for the titles on the Peters score.  The serifs are extreme, but it's undeniably attractive.
What passes you ain't for you.

Thank you so much for figuring this out for me!!

I heard a mazurka while driving the car. It was so beautiful, that I stopped  to take note. It looks quite (to say the least) difficult, though. I hope that I will be able to make it sound.....
Kind regards
Chris

Hi, Stevebob,

in case you are interested; I bought the CD, the label is Tacet, it is called "The Welte Mignon Mystery Vol 13". It is the special Welte technique: Theodor Leschetizky played the Mazurka HIMSELF in 1906 and the piano stamped  his playing into special paper rolls. These rolls were now incorporated into a new Steinway and so I have Steinway sound of Theodor Leschetizky playing. I am elated!

Kind regards
Chris (off practising ;) )
