Unfortunately, as it turns out, the item (from "Malazarte") published by Peer is the piece now distributed by Hal Leonard. Still looking for any mention of a published score for "Reisado do pastoreio" or the "Batuque" movement from same. Bernstein apparently recorded it...

This from the Boosey and Hawkes blurb for the Jazz Suite #1: In the 1930s jazz was highly popular in the Soviet Union. Shostakovich was particularly interested in this kind of music, especially as it was practised within the USSR by his colleagues and friends. So he was delighted when he was asked t...

If that is the Goldstone CD, it apparently includes a piano arrangement of Khachaturian's Masquerade Suite, as well as the Schumann "Carnaval" and other pieces. The Khachaturian work is a compilation of orchestral music written to accompany a Lermontov play. I suspect the CD may not be lis...

Do you perhaps mean either "Papillons" or "Carnaval"?

Seeing the dance as part of the ballet might be of interest to you.

Study scores for each of three suites from Gayaneh (one of several possible transliterations of the title) are available through Hal Leonard as follows: Suite No. 1 @ $49.95, catalog # 50484107 Suite No. 2 @ $49.95, catalog # 50484108 Suite No. 3 @ $39.95, catalog # 50484109 I think the Adagio may b...

Kalmus publishes this, edited by Pavel Lamm. Catalog number is A 7238.

Postscript: the information I gave refers to the Barber String Quartet which contains the "Adagio". I see no listing of the movement by itself for quartet, although there seems to be a separate string _orchestra_ version available for just the "Adagio"...

A quick glance at World Cat shows 3 scores listed for "Batuque" with various publication dates from Peer international, Ricordi, and an outfit called "New Music" (?), the last dated 1939, which also seems to be the earliest date listed for any of the three publishers. Now here's ...

Per the Wikipedia entry, the opera, Malazarte, was written between 1931-33, with the first performance taking place in 1941.

It seems as though the piece was part of a 3-movement suite that the composer extracted in 1941 from a previous opera. Hal Leonard has a study score for $10.

If your friend is conducting a string quartet or playing in one, I don't see how you can get the parts for less than $17.00, which is what the publisher (Hal Leonard) currently charges for the four string parts. A separate study score is available for $15.00.

I would suggest thinking of the downward movement as a shift to the left of each third (4th/5th fingers on F/A) _over_ the thumb without changing the angle of the wrist. Do not let the elbow move outward as the shift takes place.

"Albumblatt" is a single item (in German - albumleaf); German plural would be Albumblätter.

I just listened to the ITunes previews for the Nocturne and Scherzo of the Violin Sonata; the music is not the same as the Andante and Presto on IMSLP.
