IMSLP Forums

This is a bit different to other score requests - here are some vintage scores on Ebay which would be great to see on IMSLP - anyone able to purchase them with a view to scanning and uploading?

(Unfortunately I have exceeded my budget for buying up sheet music and due to a lot of things happening this month I have had to tighten my belt, so to speak. In addition, overseas postage is often more deadly than the cost of the item itself, so it would be more economical for someone closer to the actual item to acquire it.)

If anybody sees anything interesting on Ebay or other websites where you can buy things, please post it here.

Aldona, I wouldn't waste my money on them as all are readily available here in the U.S. Even the highly-prized Liszt transcriptions of songs was reprinted by Dover.

That's what I mean, they are mostly in the US so it makes no sense for someone like me to pay a fortune for international postage, if someone local can acquire them and scan them it becomes more economical.

Haven't seen the piano duet reduction of the Schubert Octet before - that sounds like an interesting one.

Aldona, I could easily get them at no charge. I have seen an octett reduction for 2 pianos, but I'm not sure which one it was since I'm no Schubert connoisseur.
