Many thanks for all your uploads throughout the forum--lots of great contributions. I've given the Manukian Sonata a gentle squeeze to allow it to be uploaded here.

Here's a nice set of accessible piano pieces by Mikael Tariverdiev: Moods. At the request of a colleague I converted the multi-page tif file from Boris' site to PDF, cropping and adjusting rotation in the process.

On an unrelated Caucasus music note, does anybody have any music or links to buy scores by Ossetian composer Rezvan Tsorionti? I'm particularly interested in his string quartet, of which I've found the second movement only (published in a volume of short quartet works), but he also composed some piano works, including a concerto.
