Wagner’s Universe in a Pianist’s Hands

One of the most thrilling performances offered at Cremona Musica this year was the Wagner by Liszt recital given by Filippo Tenisci – Italian pianist, born 1998 and celebrated for his refined interpretations and expressive mastery of the Romantic repertoire. After his recital we got the chance talking to Tenici about his Wagner/Liszt project. Read more

Clement Doucet - Chopinata (Hamelin arr.)

I found the original Doucet version but I think Hamelin arr. sounds better... but I couldn't find it on the internet. If it is a published and somebody knows the publisher, that would be a great help, too.

I have two editions of this piece. One is in C# minor and the other is in C minor.
Which key was it originally written for?

Could you post the C sharp minor edition? I have only seen the C minor edition. The original piece is in C sharp minor, so it would make more sense for it to have been originally written in that key, unless Doucet wanted to make the key change another part of the novelty. Also, my suspicion is that Hamelin just made a few small emendations to Doucet's C sharp minor score, ones that can be picked up by ear.

I believe these are public domain in Canada.

Oh absolutely... what Hamelin does is here and there some small changes. I'm just being lazy :)
