Recently I found three interesting handwritten (and partly autograph) manuscripts of compositions by Prince Albert (son) of Prussia (1837-1906) and his son, Prince Joachim Albert of Prussia (1876-1939). For all three compositions no scores are available and so I decided to typeset them. The scores are now available for free download from my website:


Prince Albert (son) of Prussia: Siegeshymnus (Victory hymn), for military band (1866)

Prince Joachim Albert of Prussia: Tango 1926, for small orchestra & A la plus belle, Valse-Boston, for small orchestra (1927)

This just to remember the "less unsung" Louis Ferdinand of Prussia (1772-1806), of which a great Thorofon LP, and later 5-CD album with his (complete?) works was published. But those manuscript discoveries seem to be very interesting, bravo, violinconcerto :-)
