Yes. How much did each of them cost?Also, do you already have his first sonata?
The Complete Preludes and Etudes for Pianoforte Solo by Dover $13.56It was 20% off because SheetMusicPlus is having a 20% off piano method books (which includes etudes!), and I had a $10 SMP gift certificate, so I figured I might as well get something. I already have a Henle of opus 11, but I don't have any of the other sets of preludes and I don't have any of the etudes and Henle doesn't print anything except op. 11 (yet), and it was only $14 and oh, this is how I rationalize buying way more music than I'll ever have time to play
Don't have the first Sonata. Red Blues is 7.50 GB pounds, Bagatelles 8.99, Rash 8.50 and the Sonata 12.99. Add delivery from the UK.
I have that book!!!!!!!!
It's a good book! I haven't used it much yet, just a bit of sightreading, still have a lot I want to get off my plate before college starts in a week (gonna try to get through the Rach 23/5, Liebestraum 3, and Scriabin 11/6, hopefully do some recordings too). Trying to get everything out of the way I can so I can start with mostly new pieces with my new teacher. I'm hoping she'll teach me Bach...I want to do better on the fugue, but I'm having a lot of trouble with some things and could use some guidance from a teacher. And then 32/10 I don't think I'm going to work on with the teacher, I'm sorta just doing it on the side for fun. And Prokofiev 7...I hope the teacher let's me keep learning it...it's so much fun, but I'm worried she'll have different views than my last teacher about my abilities. That's why I've got to play 23/5 really well for her, so she thinks I'm really good, even though I'm not
GB pounds, is that a compound unit, sorta like Newton seconds? You fugitives down there are so weird.
I kinda almost tore my book to shreds... . It's in REALLY bad shape.
Stop sleeping with it under your mattress then.
I kinda almost tore my book to shreds... . It's in REALLY bad shape.You're hoping she's gonna teach you Bach? You disgust me...No but yeah, good luck with your other stuff. And don't forget to post Op. 32 No. 10 when you're done with it!
You yanks are so isolated, you're probably not aware that there are also other dollars. Some of them worth more than your own.
Thanks! And yes, I disgust me too sometimes. But I really like a lot of it, especially the A-flat fugue...it has some pretty sweet parts, and as a whole is pretty cool. And it's definitely the hardest thing I've ever played, even though everyone ranks it as easy compared to most of the stuff I'm playing...the way your hand has to twist and stuff to make everything smooth without using pedal...crazy.
How did you find out my secret?!
Omniscience. I keep telling you that, but you're always surprised.
I actually kinda like that P&F.
I have tried, but I cannot give up.Thal

I will try that one at my next appointment.
If you plan to do a lot of archiving, this may interest you.https://www.diybookscanner.orgI haven't made one yet, but it seems like an interesting project.
Kindle E-book edition from Amazon, I have my hardcopy Macfarren manual but I am revisiting all technique patterns and variants (it is use it or lose it after all and truth be told it has been far too long since I regularly and diligently worked on and tried to improve my basic patterns), this will serve as my other reference while I work over the next year or more to re-master all the basic and less common patterns. this way I can just have my ipad on the piano desk and launge a kindle viewer and read from that if when i need to reinforce a fingering, etc. I have a PDF version of this too. i will probably launch a technique pattern thread later so those of us that work on them can discuss and post recordings/'performances' of our scales (all major, minor, 3rds, 6ths, 10th, double thirds, double 6ths, contrary motion, etc), and arpgegio and broken chord variants , etc.I do not have a yamaha and my grand has no lock but this will fit Kawai grands (and this one was cheaper than a kawai key) supposed to fit many others (not steinway or bosendorfer though , those need their own keys for the fallboard locks, will need to save for those, they are very expensive), mainly for use at the music school to lock my piano when i take abreak so no one takes my room if i'm gone for a few minutes and for one of the stage pianos (they keep it locked, im allowed to practice on it but it's a major drag to track someone down w a key especially if i want to rehearse very late or early)verious old vintage scores (some very old and fairly rare, i.e old Durand, Schott, Ricordi, etc.)
oh my gosh, that is the key to my heart!

OK. These finally arrived.Rash, it turns out, is not for piano solo, it's for Piano and CD.Fine so far. Do they include the CD? No. They include the freaking (orchestral) score of what goes on the CD. what?!?
Wow awesome, I have been using actual fuzzy socks as pedal covers. ...
A collection of Concert Etudes called Tchaikovsky etudes, what he never ever wrote. No other details until it arrives.

Who's the publisher? I've been having trouble tracking it down without it being custom made. Maybe I'm just struggling with the interwebs.
Can you believe that these have actually SOLD OUT Now have to wait an extra "1-8 weeks".I'm starting to suspect some sort of elaborate joke!
