No, but it would be easy to make one.Just save each of the 26 page images and print to pdf. Voila!
Easily less than 10 minutes.
If I have some time later this week, I can split the paired page images and convert the lot to PDF. Thanks to you folks for bringing this to my attention. I lucked out and had access to the 1st and 3rd concertos a while back (both available here) and was always curious about this one.

Got up the ambition and put this together from the images on that site. I'm sure others could do a more professional job of it, but this should be useful for the time being! Sorry about the file size. I still use the same primitive freeware that I've used for the past decade.

Here's a Youtube post of the piece:


Vasif ADIGOZELOV (ADIGEZALOV) (Azerbaijan)
Piano Concerto no. 2, for piano and orchestra of folk instruments (1964)
Adigezalov - Piano Concerto no. 2 (1964) (piano red.).pdf

It really is better to hear music with the score. Thank you for your effort.

If you mean for the score, you can go to http://ek.anl.az/search/query?locale=en&theme=e-kataloq and search for a piece, then, if it has sheet music, it will display it when you click "Onlayn oxumaq üçün". Make sure that it is the sheet music(notlar).

Interesting site Rorisite - although a quick look through, it would seem that many of the piano scores at least have been posted on Pianophilia at some stage by members. But am still exploring.

hi all!

first-time poster, super excited to go hunt around and find new keyboard pieces. i'm also new to forums in general, so please bear with me, i'm gen-z age so my idea of internet etiquette is likely different than the average user on here.

basically: i've been on an arno babajanian kick lately, having discovered his nocturne by a former piano lit professor of mine. i was wondering if anyone had a copy of his "fantasy of dum spiro spero" lying around, my brother and i were listening to his fantasies and we collectively had a moment of awe with this one in particular. the ensemble backing the piano is just so smooth!!! i searched on here and doesn't seem like anyone's mentioned it yet, maybe it's never been notated or something. i'm linking a recording below for reference, if anyone has a pdf they can share or knows someone who's a super transcriber and can get me in touch with them, i'd be really grateful.

thanks in advance!

Hi, and welcome to PP.

Given that the composer in question died in 1983, copyright restrictions would dictate that we cannot post his scores here. However, we do have experts in Caucasian music here who should be able to point you in the right direction.

Babajanyan's songs (hundreds of them!) are freely available on some Russian sites e.g. http://www.notarhiv.ru/ruskomp/babadgha ... omnyu.html.

I have a solo piano version of Dum spiro, spero (As long as I remember, I live | Пока япомню, яживу) but it's likely the Fantasy is a private arrangement he has used with his band as a few of his tunes found multiple lives as soundtrack themes, popular songs and light orchestral works. Sometimes those scores surface or are reconstructed by fans. Here's a flashier piano version:

The song was most famously sung by Muslim Magomayev (Муслим Магомаев) and there are many recordings to be found on Youtube etc.

When hunting for his music it's best to use Бабаджанян the Russian form of his name as there are about a dozen Western transliterations of his name. On this site, use Baba* to maximise your chance of finding references to him"".
