Hiya! Just wondering if you have any tips on how to find SHEET MUSIC for Rachmaninoff's "Italian Polka" (/ "Polka Italienne"), but transcribed for solo piano, not 4 hands. I think Volodos did a 'piano reduction' for piano solo, but in my surfings on the Net, I haven't found any reference to any published sheet music for it, and my local classical music sheet-music shop doesn't have it / know of it either. I love the Italian Polka (heard it recently on "From the Top" radio show), and would love to learn it. It's quite rollicking.
Any suggestions? Thanks! insect_sister How ya doing, buddy? |

Nope, Fjordor, it's not there... but thanks for link!
Hi, Fjordor, I just looked for the aforementioned piece (Rachmaninoff Italian Polka, for 2 hands not 4 hands) at the link, and it ain't there... but it's a good link to have, thanks!
* Maybe there's more to the link, but it's freezing here in the computer room and I'll explore that page more some other time. Thanks. insect_sister Most amazing jew boots |

Also, Dr. John.... Art Tatum... ... and not for his technique, but for his music -- Thelonius Monk. And Fats Waller for his music and humor. I also like Sunnyland Slim, for blues piano. And Tom Waits for his style and writing.... yeh, I know they're not classical, but had to mention. But Vladimir Horowitz is the man. Heard him 2 or 3 times in Ann Arbor Michigan. Not only could he play amazing, powerful pieces (Rach 3, etc. -- though that I've only heard in recordings), but when he played Schumann's 'Traumerei' (sp?), somehow even the two opening notes -- just a simple interval, just a fourth -- were miraculous and beautiful. He flowed right into the piano. And I believe I heard him play the "Stars & Stripes Forever" transcription live too.... Vlad's the man. insect_sister new to this forum but reading away Oh yeh, and Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner were no slouches either... and I've enjoyed Dave Brubeck from time to time... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
