yeah... I was doubting a piano reduction will be even possible on some of these (as I find them online and check them out).

sure beats me playing the Mozart Oboe concerto, though. ;)

The Maxwell Davies Sonata (not the concerto) is written for trumpet and piano (originally written for Elgar Howarth and John Ogden I believe).
Its well worth a go.
Its scored for trumpet in D though and I would imagine the transposition would be largely impossible given the extent of the piano cues in the solo trumpet part.

Gordon,

The PMD Sonata is Max's opus #1 and was indeed written for his friend Garry Howarth. It's a very good piece but, in the context of this discussion, a bit too commonly played (been around forever). The Concerto (and the Strathclyde Concerto, for that matter) are rare birds due to the size of the forces needed.

Cheers, mate

I think there may be a piano reduction of the Linkola. At least I have one - of his first Concerto, I think. (I'm at work, the music is at home). Published in Finland, I believe. I'll check tonight and see if I can get you any details on which of these I have piano reds for.

I have in my files piano reductions of:

the Zimmermann --- Schott Musik ED 7163. (Schott Music - Classical and Contemporary Music - Sheet Music , Books on Music, CDs, Multimedia, Journals, Antiquarian Books) or Hal Leonard in the Americas.

Linkola Concerto #1 ---- Syrene Music (Helsinki) I believe that is his own publishing house.

Concerto #2 is for a smaller orchestra - just strings. He may have done a reduction already, or might be willing to.....

His Concerto #3 was premiered in Dec. 2002 - I'm afraid I haven't even heard it yet....

(As an aside, the new music scene in Finland is really thriving and very creative. Finnish Music Information Centre - Suomalaisen musiikin tiedotuskeskus is one of several great websites to check out for info. Primarily in English.....)

There is also a piano reduction of the Davies Concerto published by Boosey & Hawkes, but (I feel) a performance of that piece with piano would sound kind of ridiculous. The three pieces that the trumpet plays in the Henze Requiem were compiled in a publication by Schott as Three Sacred Concerto for trumpet and organ or piano. Again I think the piano reduction wouldn't really do the piece justice but I'd think the organ version (done by composer Moritz Eggert) would by really cool.

Matthew,

This is welcomed news to me. Good find and you should really consider coming up to McGill :)

Best,
