I do not have the music for Le Jardin Parfume, but if you are interested, I do have the prelude at the end of the interview -

I think I found out what sommessamente is!

I know that adding 'mente' on the end of an Italian word is like adding "ly" to an English word
eg. leggiero = light  >>> leggieramente = lightly.

I tried on alta-vista babelfish turning 'sommessamente' into 'sommesso' and it came up with 'submitted.'  So turning it back to sommessamente in English resulted in "Submittedly."  Am I right?

Everybody who has the OC score,

I encourage you to study this. Analyze it. Play it. Practice it. Whatever. I have, and have started to truly realize the greatness of this piece, and the genius of the composer. Absolutely amazing. If only you could see what he does! Take this for instance - you know the two themes introduced in the first movement, right? Did you know that he uses those in practically every movement? Sometimes it's very subtle, but you can still find it (maybe not by the recordings, though).

I am very anxious to hear a recording by Jonathan Powell. I created a topic on The Sorabji Group on Yahoo, and he responded, so I might ask him if he plans to come out with one. I have also communicated via Internet with Alistair Hinton on several ocassions. It is very interesting to talk with them. I can probably learn a lot.

can we possibly be more specific, by say depicting the general exterior scheme color, the number of bedrooms, the interior design, the wall materials, the garden and landscape, or toilet size :o? best, tds

OC is a house with tall padlocked iron gates.  Most cannot get inside because Madge has thrown away their key.

Ludwig, I have to ask:  How do you keep the score together?

If I understand you correctly -

I hold my score in 4 separate binders. It works like a charm!  ;)

Ludwig, You're a real problem. Having listened to the Michael Habermann intervew and having downloaded samples of Sorabji's music on the net, "I'm" now obsessed with his work and want to know where to find the scores? + obtain/purchase the Habermann/Ogden/anyone but Madge's aparently..music! ..if you or anyone else can help ??
I'm very impressed with Habermann as well as Fredrik Ullen's dedication to these pieces.

Glad to hear it!

I'll see if I can send you some things. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to send everyone who is requesting music on the Godowsky thread what they want, because of file size limitations.

I'll see what I can do.  ;)

Hello,

This is Ludwig, in case you missed my previous messages. I have recently discovered this on Sorabji.com - https://www.sorabji.com/sound/piano/hothouse.ram. The recording quality is terrible, but the performance is, for the most part, very nice. I suppose it would sound even better if the the recording was clearer and not as harsh, but beggars can't be choosers...

Enjoy.
