Hi everybody,

mhurshell here, so far only visible at ISMLP as a fan of W.F.Bach Fantasias and Liszt Tone Poem arrangements...

At the moment I am looking for a score of Rheinberger's 2-piano arrangement of the Goldberg Variations - seriously! I heard it recently and it's a lot of fun. I think it was made in the 1890's, so possibly PD, but have no idea where it might have been published. Hobbypianist? Anybody?
Cheers, mhurshell

Carus Verlag came out with a new edition in 2004 (not a reprint).

Thanks for the info Carolus! I guess this means it's probably only available from Carus and therefore not PD, unless someone has an old copy of the Kistner at some point. So it goes. Meanwhile, keep up the great work at the site !
