Looking for Gliere's Bronze Horseman score

Post by garyg »

Especially the finale, the Hymn to a Great City (St. Petersburg).

I dropped in the main music store in St. Petersburg itself last July and even THEY didn't have it!

Someone has made an arrangement for wind orchestra and posted it to the web and
the Library of Congress has a 2-piano reduction (with associated performance notes),
but the only possible source is Schirmer, which says it'll hire out the parts (but a
conductor's/study score is not offered for sale).

We could technically host this score, but it'll suffer the [TB] (see stickied thread) because it is under protection in the U.S. If you're looking to purchase a copy, perhaps you might try some used book/music stores in search for an old Kalmus reprint of the suite.

BTW, I'll just jump in here to mention that there is a very significant legal challenge to the whole GATT/TRIPs restoration nonsense which went into effect in 1996 working its way through US courts right now. The case is called Golan vs. Holder.

I would like the piano score as well. I have choreographed several movements from it and it is lovely music. I find it helpful to work with the score as I read music and play the piano. I have several volumes that are available at the Library but not the whole score in piano reduction. I wish it were just posted here.
