Thanks for this-it's quite difficult to find scores of Hübler's works. I remember seeing Richard Barrett critiquing Hübler for an excessive substructural polyphonic "decoupling" of playing techniques which leads to a structureless and amorphous audible surface, but it's clear from hearing this work and reading the score that Hübler's approach to instrumental writing passes systematically through different variations of decoupled and recoupled techniques, all to serve a distinctly imagined audible shape, not at all structureless or amorphous. Greedily, I hope you will post more from Hübler soon-but this is a wonderful resource as is.

Thank you so much, yes, I intend for sure to post few more works, I have access to many scores of his (there are plenty on issuu, actually). The only problem is that the ones I got usualy do not have the recording, so the spectrum is pretty narrow. For sure I will do a scorevideo of his short 'Reisswreck', and hopefully I will be able to get more scores published by Breitkopf than Tre Media.

@@pabloid_j Right now I do not have it, but I would for sure do a scorevideo of this work! I generally want to make more of his, as he was student of Bogusław Schaeffer, whom I promote. I will do soon 1st string trio and Sonata for violin solo, as I got recently the recordings from one of my friends.

Mr. Clapperton, I got some time ago the score of Radulescu's The Origin Pi for piano solo, and I saw that it was dedicated to you - may I ask out of curiosity whether you have ever performed it or is there any recording of it?

@@filipgoldanowskicomposer That is so weird because I had the piece in my hands today. I am going to make a recording of it within the next days and release it on You Tube. I met Horatiu in 1988 and we became immediately great friends. He was dressed in tartan trousers and looked like a Scottish aristocrat. The main pieces I played of Horatiu were the massive 3rd Sonata. I have a recording and the score. Also, the 2nd. I will release them too. He particularly asked me to play the 3rd because he needed "the big bird". In English that means a large lady. But apparently I was, in this case "the big bird". He just meant bird)). So it was exactly 20 years I knew Horatiu. A huge character. He loved cigarillos and was often puffing away. But apart from a glass of cognac he drank very little. He had a hard upbringing and hated Communism. His father was arrested by the Securitate when he was a boy. Then the father was released but they came back for him when Horatiu was 14. The last words his father said to him were, "son, can you fetch my shoes". He never saw his father again. So when he received a scholarship in 1968 to study in Paris he took the train. When he reached the Romanian border he was sure they would come for him. But the train started off again and he breathed a huge sigh of relief. Horatiu had a wonderful sense of humor and always said exactly what he thought. He never liked Boulez as a person. But he was very fond of Xenakis.

@@jamesclapperton904 Thank you very much for your reply... I always wanted to read more about Radulescu as a person and I believe there is no such biographical book yet! I will Look really forward to your recording! I do not want to brag about it, but I actually had an opportunity to play it month ago (together with first movement of 6th sonata) in Bydgoszcz. Unfortunately I do not have a professional recording of my performance. As a pianist I really dream of having scores of other unrecorded piano works, such as 2-piano version of Outer Time or Ethereal Trio... He is surely one of my favorite composers.

@@filipgoldanowskicomposer Congratulations on your performance! Yes, there should be a biography one day. Horatiu was a true original. Both as a person and of course as a composer. I forgot to say that I performed Origin at the Heilbronn Antasten Festival. Then some times after that. I wonder how available his scores are. I really hope you find the works. I did play piano in a two piano work but I sadly lost the music. Fabulous that you are performing his music.

@@jamesclapperton904 Thank you so much! Playing and learning Radulescu was an amazing adventure, I hope that I will be able to play more of his precious piano works. Lucero Print seems to be going through some big changes, they have recreated their website, included a price list of scores for purchase, there are now over 40 pieces available now, unfortunately not the ones I mentioned, and of course many others I would love to see and study! But they have wrote there that enquires regarding not mentioned scores there are welcomed, so I had enquired. Unfortunately I do not have any informations about them at the moment. Lets hope.
