In total, it cost me 440 USD. I have the feeling that he undercharged, but that may be because he's only just getting back into the trade. I'm more sensitive to the personal time and effort I end up investing due to obsessing over inconsequential details (indeed, the bread and butter of music...

This is probably not quite within your scope, but I am interested in obscure pieces that are not in the repertoire at all for lack of usable material. This includes concertante and chamber works. I imagine they are of no educational value since they are unknown to any college or audition...

Congratulations! The differences in the solo part across versions would indeed benefit from a critical edition. I imagine those spots weren't adjusted as a function of the accompaniment, but rather reflect revisions and refinements over time, or maybe just copying errors. At any rate, I love the...

Hey, thanks for posting, as well as making the score available. It makes good use of the ensemble and is thoughtfully notated, so thanks for adding to the repertoire. A bit too contemporary for me to want to play it, but there are some memorable sonorities, like the Lisztian part in the first...

Thank you so much, I had no idea! And by the sound of it, it should be playable even for me. I've similarly learned of two early 19th century works just recently featuring this combination (with the addition of a negligible trumpet part) by Sigismund Neukomm: Neukomm: Quintet, Septet, Octet &...

Hi TalkBass, For anyone not familiar with Robert Fuchs' sonata for double bass and piano from 1913, it is a criminally underplayed, genial but inspired and nuanced salon piece containing an intricate dialogue between the two instruments. I took it one step further and transformed the piano into...

Douglas Mapp Music has you covered. They sell various transposed piano scores, either printed or digitally as pdf, and Misek's Sonata No.2 Op.6 is in the list: douglasmappmusic.com :: custom practice recordings and scores :: current practice score catalog

I'm glad you asked! I've been on a rampage collecting such quintets for IMSLP. Here is the complete list (disregard the self-published educational stuff from IMSLP users): Category:For violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano - IMSLP: Free Sheet Music PDF Download The Vaughan Williams is my...

You might have gotten it from Vito Liuzzi's website, which obviously does not have a copyright policy. Thank you for the forward, but it wasn't high on my wishlist - Hertl always struck me as trying to do too much for the instrument with too little talent, just like Adolf Misek and Hans Fryba...

Some nice suggestions already in this thread. Indeed, I emphatically agree with Morton's assessment about the octave (but not her argument for Viennese tuning), and this is actually the most beginner-friendly concerto that I know of (most likely written for an amateur nobleman), but I believe...

This should be what you need: Invalid Link Removed Multimedia viewer So much Bottesini material is already online and ripe for the taking. I've thought about doing a "Bottesini IMSLP day" but been putting it off... edit: I've uploaded everything related to concertos 1 and 2 to IMSLP now...

Interesting... it could be that whoever made an entry in whatever catalogue those websites pull from, thought that the clarinet duo and the Gran Duo Concertante were different arrangements of the same piece. I found this: Bottesini, Giovanni - Gran Duo in A major - clarinet, double bass and...

So you're NOT interested in the piece originally for clarinet, double bass and strings (or piano), but you're wondering if anybody arranged the popular Gran Duo Concertante for from violin to clarinet? BTW, Bottesini wrote it for two double basses originally; it was the violinist Camillo Sivori...

The Non-PD selections is just intended to be informative for myself. As regards the Menotti, I'm content with this trivially available composer's manuscript: Invalid Link Removed

I listed the orchestral score on my wishlist and your upload is only the piano reduction. That said, you made a great contribution and I'm not terribly interested in the full score anyway; some of those items are just there for (in)completeness sake and others are a to-do list. Maybe I should...
