As for the Nocturne--there is this piano recording on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFxEbYr_Mzw
I wonder if there is a published piano solo version--I find recordings of and references to instrumental versions but not for piano solo. Perhaps this is the performer's transcription? Any info?
Thanks very much Jim for the video link and for the Azarashvili scores.
The Azarashvili Nocturne is gorgeous! Reminds me slightly of the Adagio from Spartacus.
And many thanks to Caostotale for all the rare scores and to Paul for the reductions.

There is definitely a piano solo version. Notice this comment by Uhlanga:
"Are you still looking for the sheets? I have them, but it's the version for the piano, if it's any use to you, I can send them."
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDvWTHkNedE
If anyone with a youtube could contact Uhlanga, I would be grateful.
http://www.buy-sheet-music.me4u.biz/ has the version for flute, clarinet and piano, and the violin, cello and piano version under Vajha (Vaja, Waja, Wajha) Azarashvili. I don't see a piano solo version there. I've sent them an email and will keep you posted.
My sincere thanks to Caostotale, Paul and Jim - some amazing and quite rare postings on this and the Russian thread of some interesting and at times, very beautiful music. Thank you with much gratitude especially on the Georgian material which is often quite rare.

Thanks for looking into this--I hope a score becomes available.
Not to be confused with the more famous and well-published Alexander (whose 'Polyphonic' piano sonata alfor shared a while back), this composer was an Armenian born in Georgia who studied under Andrey Balanchivadze at the Tbilisi Conservatory before returning to a career of composing in Armenia. I've not found much info on this composer, aside from a few library listings for some stand-alone piano prelude publications during the 1960s and a few concerto pieces, including ones for violin, piano (a Fantasy from 1955, and trumpet.
Erik ARUTYUNYAN (ARUTIUNIAN, HARUTYUNYAN, etc...)

This is the Erik Harutunyan, very well known for his Concerto Poem for Violin Orchestra. There was a recording running around youtube, but its not anymore there. One can actually find it available for download, if you search clearly through Google.
This Georgian composer was also a epidemiologist. One of the 'Concert Piece' volumes Alfor posted has another of his works. Biographical details can be found at:
Dear Mr Caostotale
Many many thanks from me for your sterling (maybe not the best choice of words, as £ sterling are worth much these days) work on the Kavkaz composers.
I am particularly enjoying the Georgians.
