Gareth Vaughan

Yes. I knew about this. The item that is most interesting to me here is the Concertstuck for piano & orchestra. Cotter Nixon's music is always agreeable and well constructed but, dare I say, somewhat lacking in memorability. Or am I being too harsh?

Mark Thomas

No, you're spot on, Gareth, at least as regards the contents of Vol.1. But hope springs eternal, so this will be a must-buy for me.

Alan Howe

And for me. But my hopes aren't particularly high...

Is the concertstück the Concerto Op.14 (1882) mentioned @ Wikipedia? (Guessing so...)
