Does anyone have a digitized score of the Bartok viola concerto (piano reduction) or know where one can be found. I have been asked to accompany someone at a competition (who will provide a printed score), but would like to have sight of a digital version to decide whether I will be able to do it with limited rehearsal on the day!
There are three viola concertos listed (dated 1943-44, 1952, and 1953). My best guess is that the G major piece is the second of these (as it was uncommon for any Soviet-era work to see publication in the same exact year of its composition).

Boris Antyufyev's catalog of viola works:
• Suite, op. 12, for viola
• 1st Sonata, op. 4, for viola and piano
• Romance and Scherzo, op. 18, for viola and piano
• 2 dramatic fragments, op. 40, for viola and piano
• 2 Sonata, op. 87, for viola and piano
• student concert, for viola and orchestra
• Variations for 2 violas and piano
• Marche funèbre, for 10 violas
• monologue, op. 5, for viola and orchestra

Help!! A Funeral March for 10 violas? Sounds irresistible.

Hello everyone,
I was asked to identify a piece of music, but was unable to do so. Perhaps someone here can help me.
A snippet of the work in question can be heard at the beginning and the end of the following documentary:
We know the following:
-The documentary is from 1967, which means that the piece must be older. It is definitively a 20th century work and I would estimate it to have been written after 1920.
-It is a work for viola and orchestra. The orchestration includes a celesta, as we can hear in the second snippet, which is an instrument rarely found in a concertante piece.
-This is only a hunch, but the documentary being Swiss leads to the presumption that the composer could be Swiss as well.
