How much good stuff is out there by composers not known for piano works?
I’ve played a couple of waltzes by Verdi and Puccini which are neat to have up ones sleeve (the Puccini is the original version of Musetta’s Waltz)
Da Respighi Concertos I like and the tre preludi are meant to be good. There’s variations for piano/orch by Verdi which I’ve been meaning to listen too.
I think da only 88 instrumental work is da quartet no?
The 5th zym Adagio get’s played quite a bit but I dun think it works.
There’s an 8 hand verzion of da rezzurection zym been recorded.
I honestly like some of Rossini’s piano works. Hardly great, but sometimes at least fun and worthwhile in that respect. Bruckner has some things as well I think.
I listened to the sonata ages ago but didn’t leave much of an impression. Gould recorded it didn’t he? Although I don’t known if he’ll help or worsen the cause.
Tru. There’s also a half hour 1 movement fantasie which apparently rips off every major cumposer of the time. Pozz better than this…but most things are.
