Emile-Robert Blanchet (1877-1943) Swiss pianist and composer

[eschiss1]

ah, you're right of course. The original ballade might be good to have. And if I can find an OOC scan of op.14 (the concertstück) then I can try to scan/photograph that in poor at it though I am.

Since you're working on the score for the Konzertstück, could you get the tempo(s) posted here too, Eric?

[eschiss1]

er, wait, what? I don't even have a copy in hand. I think I misstated. I just meant that I might try to acquire a copy...

Tulane has the 2-piano score, and since they, unlike Newberry or U Kansas, have a good history of interloaning stuffs to my local public library, I'll try them. (Fleisher has a copy too, and one could email them for details. The orchestration is

"So-pn, 2-fl (1-pc, II), 2-ob (1-eh, II), 2-cl, 2-bn, 4-hn, 2-tpt, 3-trb, tmp, prc, str."

per their website...)

Thanks! I still intend to try to scan the reduction of Op.14 if I can get it, of course.

[eschiss1]

update: "if I can get it" which I cannot. (But even so, have been asked not to continue scanning @IMSLP unless I can improve my scanning quality, which I currently cannot, so even if I -acquired a score I could do little with it except photograph it and typeset it). So ... uploading typesets for me.)

[adriano]

You seem to spend a lot of time in scanning and uploading, eschiss1 :-)

[eschiss1]

Hrm. Well, never fear, no longer!
(If you're going by Special:Contributions/Schissel @ IMSLP, the majority of those uploads were not scanned by me.)
