		He was rigorous in avoiding enharmonic spelling, occasionally modulating to keys containing double-sharps or double-flats, to the annoyance of pianists who are forced to deal with aberrations such as distant keys such as E# major and occasional triple-sharps.
		One composer who does appear to continue Alkan's direction is Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji, although Sorabji claimed that his model was Ferruccio Busoni.
		(Sorabji did, however, promote Alkan's music in his reviews and criticism, and composed a work with a movement "Quasi Alkan".) Alkan had admirers, among them Busoni and Anton Rubinstein, who dedicated a concerto to him.

		31/1, KAIKHOSRU SHAPURJI SORABJI (1892-1988): Pastiche on the Hindu Merchant's Song from "Sadko" by Rimsky-Korsakov.
		The four-minute Sorabji Pastiche is an exercise in opulent delicacy, and it is good to see some attention paid to Samuel Feinberg, a fine post-Scriabinesque composer and accomplished transcriber.
		The Medtner Improvisation - actually a set of variations - is a real find for those unfamiliar with it, and Godowsky's slight but sprightly Toccata makes a welcome, rarely heard, curtain-opener.
