For Murphy's Law!, I wrote it at morning; at lunch time I went to eat in the
Shopping Center and I found the Haydn quartets opus 74 (1, 2 & 3"Rider")
with the Kodaly Quartet on Naxos on a promotion price and I bought it, as
other two CDs (Beethoven, Var. Diabelli, Igor Lebedev, Audiophile and
Chopin, Polonaises 1 - 6 and the "Andante Spianatto & Great Brillant
Polonaise" op. 22, Rubinstein II1934-35, AF, Collection Great Masters).
By the way, I paid R$ 30,00, the three, or US$ 5,42 each! It seems that
with the growth of the sales by Internet, the stores are just finishing
with their stocks of CM CDs. Better for me!

Some doubts on these CDs; if you could help me, please...
1 - The CD with Haydn quartets opus 74 (1, 2 & 3"Rider")
These three quartets, with the three opus 71 were done to a Haydn's
friend Annody - or something like that. Which are there numbers of these
quartets opus 74 among ALL Haydn Quartets? And How many did he write.
I didn't find that information on my encyclopedia nor in the text on the CD
cover.
2 - The CD with Beethoven's Var. Diabelli, Audiophile
It has written on the right top "Contain SBM gold disc". Does that
really mean something relevant or just nothing, as I suppose? The text
on the cover said Diabelli made a sword of competition for variations
on the theme of his waltz. Is that truth? I never heard that? Did LvB win?
Who else composed?
3 - The CD with Chopin, Polonaises 1 - 6 and the "Andante Spianatto & Great
Brillant Pollonaise" op. 22, Rubinstein II1934-35, AF, Collec. Great Masters
Do any of you know this label AF? This is a collection, as the name
says, of Great Masters and it has from recordings of the own Verdi
conducting into many CDs of Heifetz, Stokowski, Celebidache, Kreisler,
Richter, Toscanini (I got his Mozart's Magic Flute on this Collection),
Goodman, Grummiaux etc...
This CD I bought has the polonaises (6 first) and this strange "Andante
Spianatto & Great Brillant Polonaise"op. 22, WITHOUT THE ORCHESTRA.
I have it with Arrau and orch, and I saw it in the encyclopedia and it IS
with orchestra and there is no arrange that Chopin did for it without Orch.
But the version on the CD is without. Is it an arrange of Rubinstein?
Do anyone know this recording?
Thank you
Renato Vinicius
