And for those who have not heard him here is Alexander Siloti playing. Maybe one day a record label will release all the home recordings, or perhaps they may otherwise find their way to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6TCZH8uA0M.

The opening of the g minor Barcarolle reminded me greatly of Tchaikovsky's piece(June?) from the Seasons in the same key.

I love her expressive playing, listening to the Grieg concerto now. I am a big Rachmaninoff fan, and so naturally anyone related to Alexander Siloti has my attention. Also, people might enjoy hearing more recordings of Mary Siloti through here: http://www.rachmaninoff.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=500Thanks for sharing.
Beethoven - Op.49 No.1 (sonata 19)
Czerny - Op.299 Nos. 5,7 (School of Velocity)
Liszt - S.172 No.2 (Consolation No.2)
Dream piece:
Rachmaninoff - Sonata 2, movement 2 in E minor

Yes, well, I suspect that the musical connection between Alexander Siloti and Tchaikovsky was more than with Siloti as just a music editor . . . as with the opening piano bars of Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto, there is a source somewhere which says this was Siloti's idea inspired off of one of the Anton Rubinstein piano concertos.
