Title: Léon Delafosse (1874 – 1951)
Post by: promusician on Friday 09 May 2025, 03:03
Léon Delafosse (1874  – 1951) was a French composer and pianist. His musical works included études, arabesques, waltzes and nocturnes.

Looking for his piano concertos and Fantasie for piano and orchestra (full parts):

1) Concerto en fa dièse pour piano et orchestre (1899)
2) Piano Concerto A minor (?)
3) Fantaisie : pour piano et orchestre (1901)

Any inputs are welcomed!

Fa dièse and F♯ major are the same, no?

Sorry, edited, is la mineur apparently, I have the 2-piano reduction but there are no clues of orchestration

so nos. 1 and 2 could be the same piece, or else two different concertos in A minor (or - possibly only - there is a concerto in F-sharp by him, maybe attested to by a mention elsewhere for example, but it's of course not the concerto you have in score/parts)
