Hi everyone,

My performance of the Miriam Hyde Piano Sonata is up on facebook for a limited time only: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=273556468144295
The Sonata starts at around the 30-minute mark (before that there's my own Phantasy for piano, and Schumann's Kinderszenen).

Hello everyone! I was wondering whether anyone could help me track down a score of the piano Sonata by Evangeline Livens? Sister of Leo Livens (I performed his sonata here in Australia a couple of years ago) the only information I can find is that Evangeline performed her own sonata at RAM on 4th November 1915. Unfortunately RAM archives has so far revealed very little...thank you in advance!

thank you dmitterd and mikehopf! Always good to have the opportunity to air some lesser-known things...it's actually the result of requests...so could have been titled 'By Request'...!

Thank you Justin!

Yes, I used to peruse the Altenberg website frequently some time ago but haven't visited their site recently so thank you for the reminder!

Thank you for the pointers re Reissiger's piano music. I've been in touch with the Reissiger Foundation and they are trying to help me with a few things as well ... but as in the past, UC is a great starting point for all my explorations down the many lesser-trodden paths!

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your support! It is hugely appreciated by all three of us at TAM! (I think I missed out on the German carrot thing though...)

If you know of anyone who would be willing to support our continued Piano Trio Archaeology and current Reissiger Project campaign, please let me know...or direct them to the fundraising page - https://www.trioanimamundi.com/2020-tam-series - at the moment the Australian government will be matching donations dollar-for-dollar through that particular fundraising site...!

Thanks once again! (and apologies if I have breached any forum rules by posting the fundraising page...!)

HI everyone, thank you for your encouragement! It is wonderful to have such support!
As for Townsville, absolutely...we just have to get that invitation to come along...!

On a separate note, if anyone can help me with tracking down any of Reissiger's solo piano music...much appreciated!

Forgot to add, I'm the pianist in the group Trio Anima Mundi...!
