I'm not sure how many people read the chamber music threads, so with moderators' permission, I would like to post this here too.

Does anyone know where I can find the scores of two cello and piano pieces by Tigran Mansurian: Allegro Barbaro and Testament?

All leads greatly appreciated.

[Jim Faston]

Is there also a cello and piano version of Testament? It appears as a string quartet from 2004.

The Allegro Barbaro was published by Hayastan in 1966. Probably long out of print - copies are held by the University of Toronto and the Los Angeles Public Library.

Jim many thanks for these pointers. Your advice has been forwarded and appreciated!

Does anybody have the piano scores of Armenian songs in arrangment by Robert Andreasyan ( 'Garun A' = 'Spring') and Georgy Sardjian?

[Jim Faston]

The 14 volume collected works of Komitas Vardapet has been uploaded to IMSLP. Volume 6 is dedicated to the piano works.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Jim

Here's another pedagogical volume, found on a Russian sheet music blog. Abkhazia is a small partially-recognized state (technically, within the borders of Georgia) that lies on the eastern shore of the Black Sea in the northwestern Caucasus. The Abkhaz language belongs to the same family of languages as Circassian and Adyghe.

Nice little collection, caostotale. Very conservative in style and clearly for the young. Seems rather odd to have that 4 hand pieces stuck in the middle. Nice find, and thanks for posting.
