Horace Wadham Nicholl 1848-1922

[Gareth Vaughan]

Any news of the full score yet, David?

No, they never got back to me and I've had no time to go down there in person...not that going down there would actually help...

[Gareth Vaughan]

Pity. I will try writing to them myself. May I mention your name and how far you got? And do you have the catalogue number of the full score, please?

[edurban]

Gareth, the call number for the Nicholl piano concerto full score is *MW Amer. Concerto. Piano + Orch. Op.10. Autograph full score.   My note doesn't mention whether "Mus. Res." needs to be added to that.  The call number for the manuscript 2 piano arrangement is : Mus. Res. *MYD Amer. Concerto. Piano and Orch, 2 pf, 4 hands.

Thank you very much. Wish me luck!!!

Best of luck!

This is my first posting since joining today (1/23/21).  Thanks for referring to my 2018 AMERICAN PIANO CONCERTO COMPENDIUM book.  I wish I had all this information for Nicholl back then, but I will make use of it.  The notes on the Concerto were very helpful and I hope the full score can be found eventually.  Let me know, please.  Though my book covers 1869 to the present, and the big year was 1936, thanks to the WPA, there were many composers (and I have 1,056) who were still writing in the big Romantic style well into the 20th Century - primarily lesser-known composers, because the famous composers were busy writing in various contemporary styles.

The score certainly exists and I was on the point of trying to arrange (if not too expensive) for a digital copy to be made and sent to me (the NYPL were very co-operative), when COVID 19 struck and the whole matter has been in limbo ever since.
