Mendelssohn/Merk - Variazioni Brillanti (reconstructed by Taglietti)

Felix Mendelssohn composed the piano part of a joint composition with Joseph Merk, noted Austrian cellist, it is not known where the theme of the set of variations came from, but a wonderful theme it is! Score originally set for cello and piano but only the piano part by Felix Mendelssohn survived. By using themes in the piano part, Taglietti figured out the cello part. A video of the premiere has been recorded and released in conjunction with the DVD - Mendelssohn Unknown, featured Roberto Prosseda and Steven Isserlis, the video has been uploaded 4 years ago but was no longer been found through normal search. Here is the attached video:

A good substitute for the missing cello concerto!

STEIBELT

Without having to listen the 100th time of a Beethoven, Bach or Mozart concerto, why don't choose to listen the 1st time of a Steibelt concerto? Daniel Steibelt, humiliated as a charlatan for centuries, composed 8 piano concertos (8th with choral) and dozens of  piano sonatas with equal or superior quality than his predecessors. Anna petrova-forster, a highly-acclaimed pianist, which I respect the most for her venture into obscure compositions recorded the first ever solo disc dedicated only to the piano works of Daniel Steibelt.
2 sonatas op.6/2 & op.82, some etudes and a solo concerto no.6. This disc can be listened for free by using Spotify. I am satisfied for the quality of recording with the sonatas and etudes but rather disappointing with the concerto, titled 'Voyage sur le Mount Bernard', the concerto is lack of proper orchestral parts since Anna only played the parts marked Solo, the rondo works perfectly without the orchestra though not the best of his works. A sample of cover is below:
Orchestral parts of the concerto is rather hard to find, however, someone could consult the concerto authority, Micheal Britchfield for more information about the piece.

LONGING FOR SPRING BREEZE 望春风

A Taiwanese folksong originally composed by famous composer Teng Yu-hsien, arranged by Tyzen Hsiao for violin and piano, an arrangement for solo piano first appeared in 'Dragon songs' by Lang Lang, probably arranged by him from the Tyzen Hsiao's version.
I will be arranging another version similar to this and will be published in the near future.
