I get through a lot of music in a year!

And noone else plays chamber music here?

And noone else plays chamber music here?

Alright, here is what I've recently played piano for:

Flute sonatas by Prokofiev, Poulenc (yuck), Milhaud, Bach in B minor(best of the lot), Reinecke, misc works by Faure and other bon bons.  (I work with a flutist sporadically.)

Brahms clarinet sonatas, violin sonata in G

Beethoven violin sonatas (Op 12, 23, 30#1, 47)

Creston sonata for Eb sax

Have yet to work with a 'cellist.  I work primarily with singers.

Creston sonata for Eb sax

Did you enjoy that piece as much as I did - which is a LOT? I thought it was great fun. Who is Paul Creston, anyway? Never come across anything else of his.

I loved learning and rehearsing that sonata.  Just spectacular!

Check out some Creston orchestral works on Delos 3127 (Seattle Symphony), and Koch 7036.  I think you would enjoy them.  I once looked at at Creston piano piece -Metamorphosis- but it didn't seem worth the effort and time involved. 

But of course that's just IMHO... 

Cheers!
