second obsure request of the day!
on: March 16, 2007, 10:46:56 AM
Anyone have the dots for the shishido toccata?? I heard - I think Kotaro Fukama play this in recital a couple of years ago and would again really like to get to grips with its construction.  Also if anyone knows the Eshpay toccata that would also be welcomed.

Eshpay is a russian dude..written a couple of concerto's think he may be still alive or at least a close relative of his. Friend of mine played to them some time ago.

Shishido is japanese...may well be still active...tends to write virtuosic piano music...sorta coming out of the russian school. Its hard to find info on him
