I have previously studied with the American pianist Constance Keene, whose husband was the famed Abram Chasins - the pianist and the composer. I wish I was more savvy at that time. Anyway, this is quite a rare recording of the couple playing through all three Abram Chasins' transcriptions of Strauss Waltzes for 2 pianos. Really fantastic writing and playing, it's a shame no one really knows or plays these now (none of the many issues of the scores are in print, and none of the LP recordings are transferred on CDs; there are no commercial recordings on YouTube either). I am fortunate enough to have collected all the actual scores and the records; here you are, the fabled recording of the couple, which I just received, and the first edition of the Künstlerleben.

I am a big fan of her too, after all she recorded the complete Hummel sonatas...
I thought you'd know. Seems only couple are in Youtube...
.kind of an addiction I guess. I have so many on my to learn list already
YTsearch and then get the Tausig Scarlatti transcriptions. They're well out of you league at present, but the may give you a new insight, and a way to branch out. I'd be interested in you opinion of them.

@unholeeeall that today???
@unholeeeYou are going to play them all?
technically they all arrived today! certainly picks up the spirits. asked my housemate when he went to china. he said he couldn't find the prokofiev, and im secretly thinking he didn't get the ravel for me on purpose! oh and he forgot the erhu : (nope just add them to the collection - along with the violin. i just want to appear sophisticated. i hope its working. *freshens breath*
Rock and roll! Heey, I have one of those spray thingies for my breath too, but it's some hippie ear potion that doesn't taste or smell like anything!!
When i went to russia, i bought some sheet music, too. It is urtext. Mostly crazy stuff I cant play yet, probably.
Buying sheet music is like doing hard drugs.. bigger high and more risk of addiction if its also likely to cause harm when you actually touch it.
not sure it helped because I immediately decided to order one of those books to have my own
Just one?? Amateur!
Hahaah LOOOK...no rehab for you today....
No, its for ears! Silly...
I printed and bound my own copy, and it goes with me EVERYWHERE...Also, I've had to replace a few pages
you didn't take it to the toilet did you?
im so lost, refresh the hearing?Lol
I like to write in the books cause it feels like I am claimbing territory....
It's also handy because I always lose my printed copies and when I want to get back to the piece the carefully selected fingerings are all gone... Not that I actually have correct fingerings written in the books either, I tend to write different to what I play. Sometimes my teacher points out that I have written something like 12345 for the left hand and I don't even notice
oh i almost forgothttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xun_%28instrument%29
American neo classical stuff.Thal
Just out of curiosity how long do you think you would need to prepare three pages of it?
Probably never old chap.Thal
