Anton Rubinstein Viola Sonata

Just the other day I heard a nice viola sonata by Rubinstein, and was trying to find sheet music for it. I have tried the internet, and many other sheet music databases, including IMSLP, but couldn't find it.

Do any of you have a copy of the Rubinstein Viola Sonata that you could post, or one that you have found on the internet and give me a link?

Do you mean Op. 49, for viola and piano?

I wasn't going to pick up any more from the library when I went today... but since I'm a violist I guess I have to do this one.

Yes I'm pretty sure it is.
It's the one with four movements and the viola starts out with a low C.
Here's a website that has music samples, just to make sure: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubinstein-Viol ... B000001LOJ
If you could get it I'd be very grateful. It's nice to meet another violist on imslp.

Thanks!

It does start on low C; unfortunately I can't listen to the recording on amazon, but I think it's the right one, too. It's not too long (I've already obtained a copy from my library), so I think I'll be able to scan it in the next few days.

And yes, always good to have more violists around.

Nice! A thousand thanks!

I'm de"light"ed like a brand new light bulb.
May I ask, is this library of yours an outside facility with a large collection of music, analogous to a regular book library?
(Just an over-excited remark, if you could include both the scans of the viola part and the piano part, I'd be doubly grateful!

)

Yep, I'm planning on including both (since I have both).

The library is actually a university music library, and, yes, it's basically just like a regular book library (it's kinda like a specialized 'branch' of the university's library system; it's all connected electronically, but in different buildings physically). Most of the scores are just full scores, with no parts, but some include parts as well. It's also open to the public, which is why I can check pieces out.
