Heinrich Zöllner (1854-1941)

[eschiss1]

If you would be willing to share it to IMSLP or elsewhere, I know I would appreciate it, and hope that some string quartet group out there would be interested in performing it. Thanks either way of course!

(BTW in re IMSLP et al, there are new guidelines about uploading multi-movement works that are worth looking up on the site before doing so. )

I see that Silvertrust, MPH, and others have as yet shown no interest in Zöllner's music. Not sure about Edition Kemel and others. (The most recent reprints listed @ Worldcat are by Eastman Scores Publishing - which are Sibley Rochester's thing, I believe, the physical arm of URResearch's digital downloads - and some less recent publications by Ries & Erler (Serenade Op.95, pub. 1999), Die Allmacht (Hug, 1993) and then it jumps to some sketches and other manuscripts dated/catalogued 1941 (symphony no.6 (ms also dated 1937), violin concerto and numerous others) @ BSB (Bavarian library, which seems to have the, or one of the, largest collections of his manuscripts, from what I can tell anyway...)

Thanks for your encouragement! At the moment I don't actually have an IMSLP account, so I'm not aware of the process. Should I not make one by the time I make the scan, I'll probably ask someone I know who has one to do that for me. At the very least, I'll be happy to share it here

I decided to make the scan yesterday, and it turned out to be an easier job than I expected - the score was less fragile than I had feared. I also just made an IMSLP account, and will make this score my first posting on the website.

Thanks!

I went back to Reverie's superb rendition of the 3rd Symphony's opening movement and enjoyed it far more after putting Strauss' Alpensinfonie out of my mind. I'm not sure whether the 'Mountain' reference does the music any favours as it seems to me to work perfectly well as absolute music, although it was probably considered passé by 1913. Still, who cares now, over a century later?
