Extractions: Having been a resident of Philadelphia for the past thirty years, a classical pianist on staff at the Community College of Philadelphia and published recording artist, I have been privileged to have been asked by producer Matthew Phillips of TFA Recordings (Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania) to record first time American performances of American music. The composers of the pieces were published and active performers around the turn of the 20th century. We, as Americans, should cherish and make known to the general public the beauty and craftsmanship of these works. All too frequently one hears the only the works of the same, often-repeated composersthose from the European theater of writingplayed constantly in concert halls, on radio broadcasts, and included in publications. What has happened to the American school of resident composers, many of whom never reached our ears? This thought-provoking challenge aroused my interest when Matthew Phillips introduced me to a 3 foot stack of music (published by the John Church Co., Philadelphia) to be researched and studied for the hope of recording them in 1995. I did so, and within a six week period of time recorded 18 tracks of music, which were then accepted and published by the VAI label (#1123). The Mel Bay Publishing Co. liked the music so much that they contracted me as editor for the newly released piano scores in one volume entitled American Heirlooms for Piano - MB96934 - complementing each piece as it appears on the recording. Unfamiliar names of composers such as: J. Lewis Browne - Director of Music at John Wanamaker's, Philadelphia, 1908-1910; two women composers - Emma Beiser Scully and Dorothy Gaynor Blake; and Walter Kramer - critic on staff of Musical American Magazine from 1910-1922 and CBS Radio Network Supervisor in 1927, appear on this first recording.
