Alexandre Tansman - A Tour of the World in Miniature: 15 Travel Memories (Argentiero)

[@gregoriogarcia7188]

Unbelievable music is reaching our ears thanks to technology. Simply mesmerizing.

[@wrdna58]

"In 1932-1933, Tansman made an unprecedented artistic tour around the world - starting from the United States, through Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Ceylon, India and Egypt, to Italy." (Wikipedia). So I presume he really did visit all these places personally. Remarkable music.

Do not eat all what wikipedia gives to you ; be a human ; have a critical mind !

[@wrdna58]

@@deodatdechampignac Tansman would have needed to rely on second-hand information if he didn't make this journey. But why make it up?

[@deodatdechampignac]

@@wrdna58 Yes Ok no challenge !

[@erika6651]

​@@deodatdechampignac why would you assume the information is false?

[@deodatdechampignac]

@@erika6651 Because we have testimony on how he considered Poland ... for obvious reasons ...

Muy hermosa esta música.

[@adrianomeis184]

What a beautiful Tarantelle in the finale!!!! ❤

[@Sincebrassnorstone]

I love these pieces and that piano playing sure is zesty🎉❤

* 15 kartek z podróży* 🤩😍Beautiful, fancy! Thank you for uploading! ❤

[@polishscores]

You know, that is much simpler lol

[@celeluwhen]

Amazing pieces, thank you for this discovery! Just a note, for IV. "Le marché aux oiseaux" translates to "The bird market", not "The march of birds" :)

[@polishscores]

Fixed, thanks.

[@tomowenpianochannel]

Oh wow! Immediately a new favourite which no one could believe was never discovered before. Thanks for posting, the only time had heard of Tansman before was on a Godowsky recording, just a footnote. Perhaps he is another Gershwin.

[@none5020]

I guess he really didn't like the Philippines haha, great stuff!

[@southwestguy223]

Allegro barbaro tempo marking. I hope it's irony

[@GeodesicBruh]

Slight cultural skill issue on their part he must've thought

[@tonyrothman]

His guitar music is some of the best out there. Also wrote a few film scores. Check out Flesh and Fantasy.

[@PianoScoreVids]

I like the Tarantella

[@HOE68YEN]

The last movement is clearly inspired by Chopin’s Tarantelle, am I right?

[@Cubeinthesky]

The IV. Reminds me of Ymo’s firecracker

[@ponziopilates1146]

[@nicolascruz1615]

The Philippines 👹👹👹

[@cadriver2570]

Is this score online?

[@polishscores]

I was able to find it here: en.scorser.com/I/Sheet+music/300165498.html

[@PointyTailofSatan]

It reminds me of Godowsky's Java Suite.

[@RodolfoLimacbx]

No Brazil. :/

[@alexandercarroll9707]

This guy DID NOT enjoy the Philippines lmao

[@PianoScoreVids]

why

[@polishscores]

I'm also not sure where the character of the music suggests personal dislike

[@felixparis166]

None is good to listen

[@none5020]

Thank you :)

[@deodatdechampignac]

Tansman IS NOT a Polish composer ; he is a French composer. At the end of his life Poland tried to reconciliate with him, but as a jew, he fled away Poland. He became French (with a French passport, OK ??? LIKE CHOPIN , ok ??? ) ; he studied the music in France and was a close friend to Ravel and his musicians circle ! STOP with all those fake news from Polish wikipedia !

[@Jimsmith019]

Are you seriously trying to claim that Chopin was a French composer? LOL

[@deodatdechampignac]

@@Jimsmith019 he was Franco-Polish ; and he had French passport and never had Polish passport ; and his name is Chopin and not Chopinski, n'est ce pas, Ducon ! the father of Chopin was born in Lorraine from where I am ; who is serious ? you ? make inquiries out of wikipedia!

[@Jimsmith019]

@@deodatdechampignac Great - then I’m sure you will agree Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg were American composers!

[@deodatdechampignac]

@@Jimsmith019 Dear this is not a so good remark ! of course I will not agree :-) ; those composers had no American blood and no American culture ; contrary to Tansman (French culture) and Chopin (half French blood and more than half French culture) ! one wikipedia notice is very amusing : Bloch, a Swiss Jew composer becomes an American composer !

[@debrucey]

In the man's own words: "It is obvious that I owe much to France, but anyone who has ever heard my compositions cannot have doubt that I have been, am and forever will be a Polish composer"
