Hello Martin

I'm aware of the Wolff's piece, I found a digital pdf copy in my internet search. I wonder what other movements would be if they really existed. I must have missed the inscription that this is the first movement of concerto - in my copy there is no such text, but I only presumed that it would be a torso of a concerto like abbandoned A-major Concerto by Chopin from which we have the Allegro de Concert with the clear tutti and solo fragments. Perhaps further opus numbers contain the other movements. What i presume if there is some Nocturne op. 4x+ by Wolff and it is in the parallel key and also if there is a rondo in the main key, they could be attached to the op. 39 and be the subject of further reconstruction of the orchestral accompaniments. But this procedure is very doubtful in terms of realism and truth what Wolff really intended. I looked through the score of my version of op. 39 and it is really promissing work - diffcult and rich. . My I ask for pdf of Your version to compare? I am going to send shortly my copy to You in private message. Let's compare editions.

All the best,

Artur

Dear Members of Unsung Composers Forum. According to my knowledge based on what I read in New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians there is certain amount of Piano Concertos written by unsung Polish composers. The problem is even I searched WorldCat, BNF, ONB and many other libraries I coudn't find the piano concertos by following composers who for sure wrote at least one piano concerto. Perhaps somone knows or found a work by the following composer on some old shelf somwhere?

Polish Composers who wrote Piano Concertos:

Czerwinski Wilhelm
Grossman Ludwik (Louis, Ludwig) in C major
Hertz Michał (Michal)
Iliński Jan Stanisław (Stanislaw), Janus Stanislaus Illynski (also he wrote Symphony in F major which is lost)
Kątski Antoni (Kontski, Katski, Anton de)
Każyński Wiktor (Kazynski) in f-sharp
Sołtys Mieczysław (c-minor)
Wernik Kazimierz (Casimir)

Perhaps if You know a concerto by another polish sounding name please contact me. I am composer, pianist and promoter of polish unsung music of XIXth centry. This year I managed to finish reconstruction of polish unknown Piano Concerto by Wojciech Albert Sowiński (Grand Concerto in g-minor). I based the reconstruction/restoration on 1-piano reduction so it was a big challenge! Please feel free to contact me! Glad to be here! All the best for You!
