Beliczay: Symphony No. 1 & Serenade from Sterling

[Mark Thomas]

Yes indeed, DHibbard, I'll be very interested in the answer to that question!

his chamber works... String Quartet and Variations.. at a recital.

Could you give us some further details, please? (Place, date, etc.)

[Mark Thomas]

If you can remember the performers that would be very helpful. It's always useful to know performers who are prepared to learn and programme unsung works.

There are piano works of his, by the way, recorded - see https://rdrecs.wordpress.com/2009/12/26/julius-von-beliczay-1835-93-original-piano-works/. I am glad to hear the string quartet has been programmed (the G minor Op.21, pub.1878- or is there another "String Quartet" so-named by him?) (btw the first movement autograph of the G minor quartet is Ms. Mus. 5.790 @ Szechenyi Lib. See http://nektar.oszk.hu/en/manifestation/3407444.)

Oh- yes, there is, a quartet no.2 Op.51. Hrm... the autograph parts (violins and viola, not cello) are @ Szechenyi library)

The autograph score and parts of the Symphony no.1 are also @ Szechenyi Library - permalink. A search @ OSZK reveals materials for his 2nd symphony in A major (Op.60) too, among other works (some 126 "hits" in their catalog under Beliczay, Gyula, I think.)

Thanks, Eric.

I'll have to dig out my program notes when I get back home during Christmas week. Believe it was the 1st SQ.

[Alan Howe]

Any idea where you heard it?
