Antonin Kraft - Cello Concerto in C Major

I am a young cellist who is in love with the classical cello concertos and has recently learned those of Haydn and Wagenseil. I greatly adore the concerto by Antonin Kraft, and listen to my recording of it every day. I have tirelessly searched online music stores, music stores and libraries for the sheet music to it, but my efforts have not had any success. Does anybody have a possible upload of this piece at all, or can at least give some help on getting it?

Thanks.

Here's a copy for sale on AbeBooks... Looks like it was published in 1959 by the Czech Music Fund.

Now if anybody has a spare $120, and feels like acquiring it and sharing it with the rest of us?

(Are there still plans for a fund for buying up copies of works with the intention of adding them to IMSLP?)

Thanks for the find! I searched everywhere for the score but couldn't find it. Yikes, that is a lot! Wasn't the piece in C Major though? Someone should contribute this score.

I found a cheaper one. Would anyone want to contribute this?

(trying to remember that song from "The Sound of Music"...)

I think "Do maggiore" is C major - someone correct me if I'm wrong?

the cheaper one is certainly more affordable, but would it be copyright?

There has already been a discussion about Kraft´s Cello concerto in this forum:

From that discussion - is it still possible to post the cello part?
