Post your recent music/piano investment-purchases

[j_menz]

are you freakin' serious!?!?!? what the heck are these things? if i didn't know this to be true i'd be inclined to think you're making this up. wow. spelling it backwards too. wow.

My feelings exactly. Given that there is no cover page, no description, no reviews, no composer (except an impossible reference), no contents list and nothing else to indicate what these might even be, they either only published one copy or there are a lot of inquisitive people out there!

or the joke's on us and they're by some modern uknown chap like Blake Tchaikovsky, or Morgan Tchaikovsky, or Raul Tchaikovsky....maybe his mom bought the whole lot....

people screw up composer listings (see my adventure with sheetmusicplus.com on the 'what are you listening to' thread where i was trying to find the barenreiter editions of the Milan Dvorak Jazz etudes only to find they have them by Antonin Dvorak, how humorously coincidental we each had issues with a set of etudes that should not exist, a modern set of jazz etudes composed after antonin's death, and these mystrerious tchaikovsky ones... )

[j_menz]

how humorously coincidental

Or, given it's Dvorak, perhaps how humouresquely coincidental.

Actually, if it was some other Tschaikovsky, I think google might have been more helpful. Unless he's the 5 year old nephew of the publisher.

[mahlermaniac]

Tickets for next spring to Miss Saigon, being performed by a nearby music academ. It's my favorite musical and I have never seen it performed. I can't wait.

Had to go for Peters because Henle's selection is not that large. Now that I can compare, both are nice print quality and easy for my eyes, but the Henle editions are far superior in binding (Peters is rather poor with pages glued together too much in several places) and overall quality. Interesting editorial remarks in Peters about tempo, I might agree with them in the end, I also think these are often played unnecessarily fast...

I am going to try out another publisher (Ricordi) at some point because they have all of the sonatas, but these were pretty expensive so I guess I should learn to play a few of them before purchasing more 

[davidjosepha]

super nice edition of the Poulenc Nocturnes, Heugel & Cie (French edition)

Ahhhh I've been wanting these but so expensive! Now that I'm a poor college student, I have to choose between music and eating. I keep making the wrong choice

I really like the Edition Peters as far as print quality goes, actually.

As for my recent purchases...



I'm playing P&F in B minor from this one. Very beautiful pieces. I like them a lot.



Got it for the second sonata.



Holy schmole, have you guys listened to this piece? Do now if you have not already. I have no idea how difficult it is, but I guess I'll find out!

SMP has a sale on all Bärenheiter editions so I thought I'd check them out. The Scriabin is gonna be a couple weeks still, but the Janáček should be here before long. Damn, I'm excited. Not that I'll have time to work on any of these till winter break anyway...

[williampiano]

I've been working to improve my cello skills lately, and decided to learn some Gershwin, so I just bought this 'Play Gershwin' book for cello.

[j_menz]

Holy schmole, have you guys listened to this piece? Do now if you have not already. I have no idea how difficult it is, but I guess I'll find out!

It's fine if you like Ab minor and have three hands. Otherwise.....

[davidjosepha]

It's fine if you like Ab minor and have three hands. Otherwise.....

Haha there definitely appear to be some quite difficult sections. As for Ab minor, that's more a problem of reading than playing. Once I've learned the notes, I kinda doubt the key adds significantly to the difficulty. There are a bunch of quick, large, and repeated jumps, however, so those could prove problematic. I'm buying it for the "motivation" category you talked about

[rachmaninoff_forever]

About to go buy a different version of Bach's WTC.

All of the pages of my Kalmus edition fell out.

Kirchner Study and Recreation: 25 Miscellaneous Pieces op. 30
Amadeus Verlag Ed.
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Study-and-Recreation-25-Miscellaneous-Pieces-op-30/19498264
well not a purchase exactly, the library just got these so i think i was the first to check these out. im looking through them, i may scan the whole book for my personal study/archives, if i decide to perform them i'll just order via smp as i don't take one pieces that are in print as pdf/loose sheets unless it is the only way to get it (i.e. can't be purchased anywhere reasonably).

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Yup, just got Helene Verlag's edition of Bach's WTC book 1

Their editions are so good it actually makes you play better.

[quantum]

Got it for the second sonata.

I've used the Dover and Peters, but have not seen this one yet.  Do tell how you find it. 

[49410enrique]

50% there ( I don't want to say it's a full purchase as I am in the middle of completing the transaction but I have a lead on the title/product, an 'agreement' to buy and 'terms' i.e. price (including yen to dollar conversion, transaction fee, shipping, etc.). I will post a reply to this when the product actually hits my 'shores' and I am holding this thing in my hands! So this will be a longer entry so I can explain what it all has and is (as there are not too many 'single'sources describing this), and it is the single most expensive piano media purchase I have ( or will)  have made to date. I won't blab the actual final total but I'll say I could have purchased several very nice premium scores (i.e.  Henle, Schott, etc. albumbs) and still had money left over to spare...

So yes, after much searching (and some disapointing  attempts, frustrating dead ends, etc.), I was finally able to confirm and locate this (it seems it might be in productin again after being unavailable for some time), what's more amazing is that I was able to find a 'new' complete product vs a used/open (and often w missing media) one.

My understanding of this is that it's unique in that the music pretty much came first, that is, it's not a run of the mill soundtrack, but rather the music was composed first as  'program'music pretty much, then a world/story line and supporting media were produced to help tell the story.

really loving this one right now

[costicina]

I bet nobody of you forumeers (neither you, Enrique! ) knows this composer: born in Sardinia (!!!!) in 1883, studied music in Milan, then lived in London and in Paris where he met Ravel.
I couldn't resist the temptation to buy this score in a fly market this summer....

[49410enrique]

50% there ...
...

100%. officially a done deal (special order arrived at his japanese site, i paid for the product product, and he shipped!). now i just wait....

oh man so freakin excited.

works are composed by Tomosuke Funaki, "Zektbach" is the pseudonym he uses for his 'neoclassical' style influenced and compsoed works (he uses other pseudonyms for other types of music).

Oh dear, I actually don't have his complete piano sonatas.

I think we all know the crazy person here is you.

You have to personalities and you're in denial.

And you think you're not a professional pianist!

[chopin2015]

Chopin preludes and etudes; Dover. I really like Dover, it does the job. I have been printing scores off imslp but I am seeing a couple of bars that I am not hearing in etude op 25 no 5. Am curious what the etudes look like in an actual book!

a delightful album of modern pieces for children by Akira Yuyama, "Children's Land" pieces for small hands. Has an entry in Maurice Hinson's "Guide to the Pianist's Repertoire"
no pic but someone did a nice little job with the first of the 20 pieces on YT last year...

a better version, i included the one above since it has an image of the cover of the album.
this little chick played this so well!

got the matching/partner CD of the recordings of these pieces. they are absolutely delightful!

the lesser(edit) KNOWN Bach....lol I absolutely love his stuff!


does your edition "cover" also have pi taken to 5 decimal places? it took me a while to actually make sense of that, i.e. i just saw that 3.14159 and didn't put it together that it was pi !

the tic tac toe and egyptian hieroglyphs  in the program and performers notes are some of the funniest things ive ever seen in music lol

[j_menz]

the lesser Bach....

Lesser? 

He's my second favourite.

omg typo, i forgot "known" wow one word makes all the difference !i don't call him that out of not liking him, i read that somewhere in one of thedescriptions of pdq.

Where did you get the vintage scores?

[49410enrique]

Where did you get the vintage scores?

i hit up used  books stores, 2nd hand/resale and consignment shops, estate sales and garage sales, antique malls (especially those that have lots of 'kioks' and different sellers). ebay is also a very good place to find vintage scores. probably the 'best selection' as you can pool sellers from all over the world into a single search.

[chopin2015]

Interesting! I go to estate sales and antique shops as well. This weekend was a total miss though. :/

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Outin is gonna give me an hour with Valentina Lisitsa in exchange for my hands.

PDQ Bach- Goldbrick Variations



P.D.Q. Bach's works were unearthed by Professor Peter Schickele, for some reason or another. This group of variations actually precede the theme that they are the variations of. And that's not the only thing that proved P.D.Q. Bach was ahead of his time; his archive notes recommend ending the piece with an arpeggio over the full length of the keyboard "as cocktail lounge pianists will someday do".

I. Allegro boffo
II. Lento pathetico
III. Presto changio
IV. Theme - Lento notso pathetico

(the remarks throughout the score including the forward/perfomance notes as usual are bust out laughing lol funny)

*plus some other misc may post about later on this was the coolest of the bunch/most worthy of note

playlist (just a repaste of the 'what are you listening to' link i posted before in the other thread but this seemed like a good place for it to live)

really loving this one right now

this is finally in my hands! i am so unbelievably happy, this is one of the nicest scores and accompanying box sets i have ever purchased.

the book is beautiful nice heavy hard cover. the illustrations in side before the scores begin are so pretty and the pages are incredibly well sewn/bound.  the pages use a super thick low gloss paper (almost card stock) and the typeset is super clear and the score is very well laid out, page turns make sense .   this was all obviously done with a 'collector' in mind not just the pianist that would use it.  the audio CD is true to the score and gives very good audio examples of the pieces by several very good pianists. the Drama CD is a little lost on me as I do not speak Japanese so I cannot appreciate the narration of the tale these pieces tell. the DVD is awesome and includes beutiful illustrated 'music videos' of three of the pieces.

all in all I was super happy with the product, it's packaging and contents. a little steep on price but considering it its so incredibly difficult to find (again i only for a while saw an old listing of just a used copy of the score book and it was close to 180.00 US dollars for that, and it was sold out with no more stock expected from that seller).  also included was a beautiful little art book and diary that is tied to the story the music tells (again these pieces from my understanding of the composer and this project was that the works were composed first with a program in mind then the world was created and stories and narratives and other media were started to support the telling of it).  this came straight from Japan to me. Shipping was reasonable for the size box and the registration of the parcel and customs.

now i just need to see how I am going to balance beginning work on these pieces with all my other stuff due next year....

[49410enrique]

got the audio that just hit last week. now waiting for the scores to be published!


https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/piano-collections-final-fantasy/id572840001

really like what casy ormond did with these. he's continues to evolve and mature as a composer and arranger and his piano pieces are becoming more comples with interesting textures and lines and sophisticated harmonies. good stuff here. yep. this is a breath of fresh aire for these collections are casey and hitoshi sakimoto are unrepresented anywhere else in the franchise, so to have a unique compositional and piano style has  been lots of fun to listen to. gave the album two full listens back to back yesterday.

Alkan biography. I was considering buying a few biographies by different authors on this composer, but they're all so damn expensive! So I decided to try Ronald Smith's.

[davidjosepha]

Poulenc Nocturnes, got them for my birthday last Wednesday. Have yet to play through any of them though.

Also, if anyone's interested, my piano teacher is letting me play the Janacek sonata I bought next term. I'm starting it over winter break (in a week) and am quite excited, to say the least. Expect me to be more active over break, too, hopefully.

copycat. 

jk

great buy, if you don't have the physical score in hand yet, be ready to be pleasantly surprised by it's quality. nice feel to it. was very pleased with these. cannot wait to get into at least one of them sometime 2013.

[outin]

I am in no way ready to play these, but just wanted to have them ready for the future 
The print and paper quality is a bit disappointing compared to my other Peters book though.

These just were must haves:

I bought the following last night as an end of term treat (I come up with the lamest excuses to buy music)
