Alfor posted the fourth sonata a while ago, but there's 16(!) of them total. Does anyone have any of the others?
No. 12 still in print:

This website bio claims he wrote 30 sonatas for piano. That's pretty impressive.

That publisher's output is remarkably random, especially in regards to which Soviet-era works it retains rights to.

Best,

Here's the Song. (A little late I guess)

Alfor, thanks for this beautiful performance of this piece. Definitely a score worth seeking out.
Seconded ! I've had success finding a way to contact the pianist him/herself and asking him/her directly for the score or perhaps where it was found - I'd like to see this score myself - I'll see what I can do! Thanks!

an update to my own post.... apparently Berlin has it... it is catalogue number S2200236, found here

http://musikipac.staatsbibliothek-berli ... 1&cop=:osy

I am thinking of ordering it myself because I have other items to order unless anyone else has found the score elsewhere or would like to order it from Berlin themselves - I would like to share this one with all, as it is an exceptional piece! I would appreciate any feedback on this!
yet another update to my own post - the piece has been requested and confirmed for loan through interlibrary loan services - hopefully I will have it within a week or so.... ;)
Am really looking forward to finally getting a copy. Thanks so much for all your efforts.
Hello all - I'm happy to report that late last night a little package of three volumes of the "Album Russe" arrived with this rare Glazunov piece in it - I still have to get it to the scanners, but I was also going to post the contents, for I'm not sure what other gems lie in this collection! Perhaps other Russian rarities! To be continued....

A big kiss on each cheek for you, Musiclife217. The Barcarolle is going to be a very nice Channukah/Christmas present for a couple of people here in Texas who have been searching for it for a long time. Thank you so much!

Nice thing being the boss is I can edit.......duly done Alfor.

Apologies for my long absence - mega thanks to coastotale for some amazing recent postings; and to musiclife217 for his diligence in tracking down the Glazunov work [which I did have, but didn't see this thread until today]. Hope to be back posting more of my Russian stuff [and others] shortly.

Malcolm
