Could anyone help me please? thanks alot in advance!
best regards

There is a true solo piano version of it. I have the entire concerto (yes all three movements ) as a transcribed and arranged for solo 2 hands piece- a little watered down in spots but the important beautiful stuff is all there, very playable by us mortals actually.Caprotti wrote:If you mean a "true 2H", i.e. piano part interpolated with the orchestra the answer is no.
A very bad "false 2H", i.e. piano part only with some little reduced orchestral parts when the piano is silent, was circulating since 2003 (attached)
It's transcribed by Ludwig Flato 19-11-1982, i pulled it from an old rare Hollywood souvenir piano album (as was the fashion in the 40s to release arrangments from the popular piano/classical and music themed films). It's from I have always loved you (good movie btw worth the watch).
