Seek Sheet Music of Busoni Transcription
By Albert Petrak

A former customer of mine, from when I was in the retail CD business,
has written from Singapore to request the following:

Wagner-Busoni: Funeral March from the Opera "Die Goetterdaemmerung"

What is wanted is a copy of the sheet music.  It is listed, as are
all of Busoni's transcriptions and original compositions in the web
site for the Reproducing Piano Roll Foundation, together with a short
and a more lengthy biography of the great man.  See
http://www.rprf.org/index.html

If you have any information as to location, please address: AmyMingYen
at <mingyenp@singnet.com.sg>.  I believe the seeker to be male, despite
the "Amy" but have not yet been able to certify that.  Your help will
be greatly appreciated.

The first phase of the English translation of the recently-published
book "Im Aufnahme Salon Hupfeld - Anno 1910" has been completed and
sent to Leipzig for editing and/or correction.  I am much encouraged by
the accuracy and detail of the work.  Looking forward to bringing in a
number of copies when the English edition is completed (about the
middle of 2002).  I will keep you advised.  It is a truly-beautiful
achievement, as Robbie can testify (he bought one abroad).

Sincerely,

Albert M. Petrak, Founder
The Reproducing Piano Roll Foundation
