Title: Charles-Marie Widor - Complete Works for Piano
Post by: dmitterd on Tuesday 16 June 2020, 01:31
Hi Everyone,
I thought the board might like to know that my co-editor and I have finally finished the project to publish the first complete edition of Charles-Marie Widor's piano works (it's only taken 11 years!). If anyone is interested, you can read more here. http://www.crescendomusicpubs.com.au/widorpiano/

cheers,
Daniel

THis is indeed a fantastic achievement! I suppose that I will now have to find more room on my bookshelves for a complete set!

Thank you! It has certainly been an interesting (and sometimes confounding!) experience in finding and then editing these works. Now for some enterprising pianist and label to take on recording the lot!

Congratulations on completing such an extensive and worthwhile project. I'd suggest that finding the money to record the music will be a more taxing job than finding the pianist but, sincerely, good luck with phase 2!

Great work! I've suggested purchase to our music institute.
