dohnanyi piano concerto no.2 op.42
on: February 20, 2005, 12:16:21 PM
My teacher has searched  all over for the score ,but no one seems to have it. I know Martin Roscoe recorded it.Does anyone out there have access to this?? $ is not an object in this matter. Photocopies [ or .pdf] would be fine-preferably the 2-piano score. thanks very much- Sousa

wow I would be interested in hearing these. I had no idea they existed. Way to look for something outside the box.

the british library has the score but i think the second concerto is still on copyrights
so you have to get a premission from the rights owner to ask for a photocopy.

here's there site  https://www.bl.uk/

i have the full score of the first but it's VERY small, i spent like an hour to read the first 2 lines of the solo part.

hope this helps.

I know this is irrelevant to this post, but dohnanyi's variations for piano and orchestra on "twinkle twinkle little star" are BRILLIANT!

THis is a composer who should be far more famous- not only for his compositional brilliance, but also the fact that he was cziffra's teacher at the liszt academy when he was a teenager.
What it all comes down to is that one does not play the piano with one’s fingers; one plays the piano with one’s mind.-  Glenn Gould

I didn't know he taught Cziffra!  I think I read somewhere that Dohnanyi did not become so famous himself because he made the decision to championing Hungarian music, such as Bartok's stuff, rather than promote his own music.  In fact, his own compositional output was restricted because he spent more time making other people famous!

Not only has Martin Roscoe recorded it, but someone called Erno Dohnanyi recorded it as well. :)

However, as far as modern recordings go, you should check out Howard Shelley's, which was released last year. It's better than Roscoe's, IMO.

Piano Street Magazine:
Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
