on: November 02, 2005, 12:55:03 PM

does anyone know any relativly short wroks by thalberg? about 5-7 minuts long?

i want to prepare any piece by him for a preformance with pieces by only underapreciated composers.

i already prepared his casta diva from bellini's norma so i need a contrasting work.

thanks.

I would suggest the following.

1. Nocturne Op28

2. Fantasie on themes by Schubert Op57 No5

3. Mozart-Lacrimosa Op70 No5

I am more than happy to send you any sheets required.

How about looking into Les Soirees de Pausilippe (op.75)? Granted, these pieces are shorter than the 5-7 min mark.

Hello:

Sorry for the intromission, but I am very interested in the works of Thalberg.

Could you share with us? I only know his Barcarolla op.70 and Fantasía of Rossini?

May be do you know, for example, his Sonata in C?

Thanks for all.

The Sonata in C has been recorded by Ian Hominick.

I wrote to him and he said he would send me a copy as it is now unavailable.

Can't wait.

I wish I had it.  I only have an extremely poor cassette tape copy of the recording Adrian Ruiz made for Genesis records in 1970s.

I have a question regarding the chords that span way more than I can reach in this sonata (first movement).  It is not musically pleasing to roll these chords and I am left with the only option to reduce it so that it is a chord with an octave span.  How would I do it in a manner that is pleasing? ???  Or maybe just play it as an octave without the thirds or fifths of the chord?

I can't reach them either. Thalberg (according to Chopin) could play 10ths as easily as he (Chopin) could play octaves.

I would not be inclined to reduce a 10th to an octave as that would diminish the sound.

If i had to play a chord of say b flat d and f, i would personally play the b and the d together, followed by the f as quick as possible.

Possibly not correct, but that is what i would do.
