[2806djha]

Hi, I’m looking for these Azeri and Armenian composers. I already went through existing posts (Caucasus) from pianophilia, as a result have been enjoying playing Babadjanian, Amirov and Quliyev. But these following things are still missing, and I am even willing to pay if they are found in music shops:
My search words:
Sayat Nova arranged by Sargsyan, or Saradjian, Andriasyan
Komitas arranged by either of these 3 same arrangers
Vagif Mustafazade (sometimes h at the end of spelling) transcriptions.
Саят Нова, Саргсян, Сараджян, Андриасян,
Мустафазаде search was also not found successful.
These songs can be listened to on youtube:




In the meantime, these are the only two Komitas-Andriasyan song scores I could find:

-Garun-A-by-Vardapet-Komitas.pdf

-Tsirani-Tsar-Komitas-Vardapet.pdf

[MOD: Merged into existing Caucasus topic. Changed attachments to "inline" for searchability.]

Vagif Mustafazade (1940-1979) is still in copyright so not posted here, but there are a few transcriptions on :
Musescore: https://musescore.com/sheetmusic?text=mustafazade
PianoKafe: https://pianokafe.com/artist/vagif-mustafazade/music/

You'll also find Andriasyan arrangements of Komitas on Musescore e.g. https://musescore.com/user/7154186/scores/6589731

The -y- in his name is also transliterated with -e- and -i- so sites requiring very literal searches require some work, shades of Baba-----an!
