Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet Suites

[poncho]

I am aware that these scores cannot be posted on IMSLP, but can anyone advise where I can purchase them (either full scores or study scores). I am in the UK.

The only options I have found are:

1. Boosey & Hawkes.

http://www.boosey.com/cr/purchase-music ... uliet/6790
http://www.boosey.com/cr/purchase-music ... uliet/5687

The prices are ridiculous!

2. musicroom.com sell a study score published by "Zen-On" (never heard of them) which seems to be in Japanese?! Does anyone know what this is a reprint of?

There must be other options, surely?

The Japanese edition looks like a reprint of the original Soviet edition (PD in Japan), so only the introductory matter is in Japanese (the score itself is in Italian, as usual). You can also get that from SheetMusicPlus.
However, Music44 has the three suites in study score (here, here, and here), apparently published by Schirmer. It seems to be reasonably priced. However, I'm not sure how the international shipping works (it's an American company).

Thank you for the quick response!

I searched on schirmer.com to find out whether there was a UK distributor for their edition. Here are the links:

http://www.schirmer.com/Default.aspx?Ta ... 2874=31745
http://www.schirmer.com/Default.aspx?Ta ... 2874=31746
http://www.schirmer.com/Default.aspx?Ta ... 2874=31747

All are marked as unavailable in the UK. For the USA, they link through to musicdispatch.com:

http://www.musicdispatch.com/product/vi ... d=50484115&
http://www.musicdispatch.com/product/vi ... d=50484116&

where the pictures says "ZEN-ON" and the publisher codes begin "ZEN". So I am wondering if this is just Schirmer distributing the same Japanese "Zen-On" edition....

I have also now found a study score of the 1st suite, published by Peters:

But they don't have the other 2 suites! How odd....
