Tchaikovsky-Pabst "Mazeppa" ?

[dnephi]

What do we know about this?  i have the PDF score.  I was interested because Mazeppa because of Liszt's Etude named after Mazeppa.  It looks fiendishly difficult, but very dramatic.  What does the music sound like?  Do you think that it's worth looking in to?

Thalbergmad, I assume you know a good deal about this because of your Romantic Transcriptions. Could you perhaps shed some light?

Thanks.

The Pabst - Tchaikovsky transcriptions have been recorded by the pianist Oleg Marshev on the danacord label. Anyone who is interested in transcriptions should listen to this.

The works of Pabst have been forgotten, perhaps due to the fact that he chose the path of a teacher as opposed to that of a touring vituoso. He was supposedly renowned for his performances of Liszt and Schumann.

I have never played the Mazeppa, but i did dedicate months of work to his transcription on Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, which is the hardest piece i have ever played.

In my opinion, his transcriptions are amongst the best written.

any developments or news about his piano concerto? i would very much like to hear it performed. it looks extremely virtuosic. also, i agree, his transcriptions are very good, although extremely difficult.

There is a digital recording here.  Please donate to the sclerosis people, I'm not 18 and so I can't     I heard the Mazeppa here and I was a little disappointed.  Do you think I just need to give it another try?
