The Piano Concertos of John Field
The Irish composer, John Field (1782 - 1837), wrote seven piano concertos, but apart from a relatively small number of recordings, most of them are forgotten today, and rarely appear on the concert platform.
I have just finished transcribing an earlier type-written manuscript, which is still available from Plymouth City Library Service in its original form, with all the music examples now produced using Sibelius 4.
Hopefully the book will eventually be published in some form, either in the UK or abroad, but if any visitors would like to know more about this composer and his works, then they may well find it rewarding. Field is usually referred to as the Inventor of the Nocturne, but, as this book will hopefully show, this is to base such an appraisal only on a relatively small part of his total output.
The book consists of 188 pages (A4 double-spaced), with 210 musical examples, and is available currently in electronic form only [11.5MB] from my:

Do take a listen!
A couple of years ago, I was most privileged to collaborate with Dragana Petkovi and Biljana Krsti, from Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, in the publication of Piano Exercises & Pieces for the Elementary Music School. Tragically, Dragana (born 1969) died suddenly in March 2007.
We all became very close friends as a result, but I am also delighted now to have made the acquaintance of one of Biljana's former teaching colleagues, Maja Brkovi, and her husband, Goran (see photo).
Maja writes: We work in a little music school in Uzice. It is an elementary music school, for
children aged 5-15. It is in a little private house, which one very generous man gave to the town for the music school about 25 years ago. He still lives on the upper floor, and we have a few classrooms on the
ground floor. Two weeks ago, he made all of us happy by buying a new Yamaha piano!
Maja and Goran are both fine pianists, and have already made two stunning recordings of my Samba..alla Turca! and Solfeggiettissimo, which I've attached as MP3 files to the scores. Their playing is absolutely faultless, with Sibelius-like accuracy! Hopefully they might be adding new recordings soon! To find out more about Maja and Goran, take a look at their new website.
In the meantime, do take a listen, if you get the chance - I'm sure you'll be as amazed as I was!
Samba...alla Turca makes the big time!
In his role as classical music writer for The Herald (Plymouth), Philip has reported on a good number of events during 2006, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Mozarts birth.
Now Philips been able to make his own contribution to the year-long celebrations, when the prestigious City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra included his own Samba...alla Turca! in its recent Family Concert in Birminghams Symphony Hall.
Presenter, Alasdair Malloy, said: Not only a musical genius, Mozart was a great practical joker with a wicked sense of fun and mischief! With this in mind, Philip Buttall has taken one of Mozarts most popular pieces for piano and arranged it for orchestra, as if weve just bumped into Wolfgang at the Carnival in Brazil!
