Hi Alfor

I have attached the back page which lists a lot of the scores from Leeds Music - have never seen a catalogue as such. I know I have some of these but would mean having to search through all my scores. Were you interested in anything particular ?

I know I have some scores by Marks but again, not easy to extract.

Anglo-Soviet was linked to Boosey and Hawkes [think that was their Russian music thread circa the 1970-90s].

I am curious if it is possible to do a "PMW" type of thread for this LEEDS Music publisher??

I would be delightful to see Buxtebude-prokofiev - Organ Prelude and Fugue, the two Purcell-bartok Preludes, or Lyadov - 4 Russian Folk-songs (ed Siloti).

Hopefully another new Samuel Maykapar (1867-1938) along side previous postings from me [and thank you again Alfor for the Ruslan link, managed to obtain several new Maykapar scores for a very reasonable cost]. Also managed to obtain a number of further more adult early scores [Op 3-6] from the Berlin State Library - unfortunately, agreement with the library prevents me from posting openly on Pianophilia. Berlin is always worth investigating for obscure and rare scores.

Dear Malcolm,

Thank you for your recent postings!

I am always hunting for scores with decent fingering and/or some pedal marks.
Yes, I am able to find my own, but it is nevertheless often helpful to see
the solutions of other experienced pianists.

So in this thread I for example posted Prokofiev's Sonata No. 2, fingered by Martin Frey.
In the next days I will post a Leeds Music Corp. issue of this sonata with really nice
fingering and pedal marks by a certain Harry Cumpson.

I know that both Leeds Music Corp. and Edward B. Marks (who are probably the first
to have published some Medtner - op. 26. publ. in 1944 - in the U.S.) have published a couple of
scores with excellent fingering. The problem is that you cannot see from their catalogues
which editions are edited in this way and which are not.

I will search worldcat for some specific items. (E.g. Shostakovich's Three fantastic Dances
edited by the aforementioned Mr. Cumpson.)

All best

P.S. MCA Music published Prokofiev's Sonatas edited by György Sándor
(who provided only a few fingerings - mostly helpful, though -, in addition with some
variants used by Richter, etc.)

I'm looking for Rachmaninov's piano solo version of the Nunc dimittus Op.37 No.5 from his Vespers.

Hi All,
Has anyone managed to locate a score for this work as yet?

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel

It appears that the Nunc dimittis was arranged for piano solo by Rachmaninoff so it could be inserted in his biography: Rachmaninoff's Recollections as told to Oskar von Reisemann (1934). From what I discovered, one should find a copy of this arrangement in manuscript form on page 252. The book is popular and can be found in many libraries.

I do not think the solo version has ever been published. Apparently it differs from the original piano reduction, used for choral rehearsals.

Hope this helps!

All best,

EdvonD

Here is a scan of page 252 from the Reisemann book. It isn't a great reproduction. Anyone have time to knock it out in Finale?
