Klughardt Violin Concerto

[jonfrohnen]

Hello all...is anyone able to upload the August Klughardt violin concerto?

I don't even see that this is or was ever available in print. If there's no record of it in WorldCat, it's virtually non-existent.

This must be because of the non-standard spelling of the title together with the absence of a standardized english title in the records - something that happens occasionally with worldcat.
The work was printed as "Concert für Violine und Orchester, Op. 68, Leipzig, Fritsch 1895" and you can find it with the Op. number or the spelling "Concert" in worldcat: Score and parts at the Fleisher Library

Berlin Stabi has the full score in addition to the Piano reduction, no set of parts (from their scanned catalog).

Why worldcat does not show holdings at BSB and UdK Berlin, both with the Piano reduction, is mysterious to me - they show up in the KvK search. BSB also has the full score, classified as "book", which shows in worldcat, if you do not limit your search to musical score.

Ah, probably because I searched for "concerto," and although the English translations are often linked in with the records, it must not have been in this case. I did find the entry at the Free Library by searching for "op.68."

have sometimes felt that a work-tagging system would be a good thing for libraries to use more generally (though maybe even more difficult to apply outside music, and the tags would also be in their native language - or perhaps in an international standard that would be recognized by... hrm. train of thought stopping here though only temporarily...)
having spent too much free time going through online library catalogs, though, the issue doesn't surprise me especially as English has ceased to be, if it ever exactly was, the, erm, lingua Romana of the Western World...- German is the language the work was published in, I think, and of the country the library is based in. For a better-known work whose catalog entry is not accruing dust, information in various languages would probably be inside to allow access by more people, but ... (not a judgment on the quality of the Klughardt- and I hope with the recent cpo recording which has been the topic of discussion for awhile on another forum I belong to, and much-praised there- I have not heard the work _yet_..., the score will soon cease to "accrue" dust. My own favorite works are mostly rather little-known too so I have to encounter this translation problem fairly often myself- though often in Swedish as Stenhammar is sometimes involved )
