Medtner Fairy Tales

[pianopoet]

Does anyone have the sheetmusic for any of the fairy tales? How difficult are they?

Dover publishes all the fairy tales as a collection, so you can get them cheaply that way.  But I think the print is odd and difficult to read.  I have some in an old Edward B. Marks, which I believe is now part of Hal Leonard.  It looks marvelous on paper, very clean noteheads and logical spacing.  Might be moot, as it's probably not available, but the quality is so much better, it'd be worth a quick call.  I hesitate to comment on difficulty on this forum!  For me, the older I get, the more I think everything's hard to play really, really well.  Not technically but artistically.  Having said that, the Medtner pieces are fun to play and very accessible to the listener.  The busy movements are impressive at the suggested tempi, which are sometimes QUITE fast, and the calmer movements are lovely and charming.  The articulations are very specific and really make the pieces, so I think the more detail, the better.

I can't find any online, but ^ is right; Dover publishes them.  As far as their difficulty, I wouldn't call them easy, but they're definitely not as difficult as his sonatas.
