Would it be it possible to have Mussourgsky-Tushmalov orchestral score?

[Carolus]

The score for the Tushmalov suite (it's really only selections - he didn't orchestrate the entire work) will be coming very soon. We already have the parts, of course. As for some of the items on you list above, Lucien Cailliet died only in 1985 and will not be free in Canada for a long time. Leonidas Leonardi died in 1967 and is also protected in Canada.

[Angelos]

Thanks!! Excellent job Carolus!
I am aware that Toushmaloff's orchestration had several omissions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f0H3J_CSL0

It's obvious that the request applies to the scores that are public domain.
It's a pity that we cant have the Bessel score of Leonidas Leonardi.
http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebreco ... WhKxcOD2Sb
What about Bach-Wood : Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 (Oxford University Press)?
Sir Henry Wood passed away in 1944, thus his published transcriptions should be free?...
What about Joachim Raff's orchestral transcriptions for J.S. Bach works?

Or these?
J.S Bach / Edward Elgar : Fantasy & Fugue in C Minor BWV 537
-Handel / Edward Elgar : Overture in D Minor
-Chopin / Edward Elgar : Funeral March rom the Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor Op. 35
-Parry / Edward Elgar : Jerusalem
-Balakirev / Alfredo Casella : Islamey Op. 18 [Rahter, D.]
-Scarlatti / Alfredo Casella : Toccata, Bourree et Gigue [Senart, Maurice]


And please would it be possible to have more piano transcriptions scores from publishers such as Bessel, Jurgenson, Belaieff, etc?
Because they have valuable-worthy rarities.





Edit.
@Carolus many thanks for posting the Toushmaloff full score!!

[Angelos]

Will we see someday the following upload in imslp?

-Bach / Gustav Holst : Fugue a la gigue BWV 577 [Hawkes & Son, c1929]
-Bach / Jeno Hubay : Chaconne [Universal Edition, c1931]
-Bach / Heinrich Esser : Toccata in F major, BWV 540 (coda elaborated by Sir Edward Elgar)
http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Lib/Esser-Heinrich.htm

-Bach / Bernhard Scholz : Prelude from Praeludium und Fuge, BWV 552 E in Flat Major [Rieter-Biedermann, c1874]


What about Bach-Respighi? Bach-Abert?

Thanks in advance!

There is a preview pdf for Mussorgsky-Leonardi "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Some pages of the score are missing (i.e. not scanned), so that it cannot be reproduced or copied by another publisher.

Pianist Joanna MacGregor interviewing several people, including Leonard Slatkin, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Edward Johnson (doyen of Leopold Stokowski Society) and Lawrence Leonard about the several orchestrations for "Pictures at an Exhibition".

Part1
YouTube - Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition. An introduction to various orchestration part 1/2

Part2
YouTube - Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition. An introduction to various orchestration part 2/2

At a Promenade Concert on Monday, August 19th 1991 we heard Leonard Slatkin's brilliant first compilation from nine different orchestrations of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, a remarkably successful initiative, reminding us, as it did, of how many arrangements there have been of this evocative score. Then he went for extracts from Lawrence Leonard’s version for piano and orchestra, from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Lucien Cailliet, Sergey Gorchakov, Leonidas Leonardi, Sir Henry Wood, Mikhail Tushmalov, Leopold Stokowski and Maurice Ravel.
It was the indefatigable Edward Johnson, champion of Leopold Stokowski, we had to thank for getting Slatkin interested and finding some of the scores. Now Slatkin has done it again with a new – in many ways more way-out – compilation including versions by Brywec Ellison, Sergei Gorchakov, Walter Goehr, Naoumoff, Geert van Keulen, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Carl Simpson (our Carolus ), Lucien Cailliet, Sir Henry Wood, Lawrence Leonard, Leo Funtek, John Boyd, Maurice Ravel and the Australian composer/arranger Douglas Gamley.

Slatkin’s first compilation, although he played it round the world, has never been commercially released, which makes it all the more pleasing to welcome his second version on this CD from the 2004 Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.

At Sibley we have digitized many of these transcriptions, both solo piano and piano 4-hands (all the way up to piano 8-hands: we have a Ride of the Valkyries so arranged that I'd love to hear some time). I don't know how many have been subsequently uploaded to IMSLP, though. We've done a piano 4-hand transcription of Pictures that you can find here: http://hdl.handle.net/1802/9938. If you know specific composers/arrangers/publishers you can try searching those names, but if you just want to browse (https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewIn ... ctionId=63) you can try call number searches. Searching for "M33" will give you a list of over 150 opera and ballet transcriptions for piano solo; M34=transcriptions presumably for concert purposes; M35=orchestral and band music; M37=concerto transcriptions; M38=chamber music (e.g. string quartets); M38.5 are songs. Works for piano 4 hands and up, including transcriptions, are generally classed M200-216. Hope this helps.

Dear Jim,
Yes I know, you guys do a great job in digitizing scores at the sibley music library!! I have your page on my bookmarks to follow all the latest additions! Please keep up the good work!
But this thread is for Orchestral Transcriptions. I didn't see any orchestral transcriptions at sibley music library.


Peharps you could upload more Bach / August Stradal piano transcriptions
Stradal's piano solo transcriptions for organ works : BWV531-537 and BWV539-588
http://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/PT-Stradal.htm

In addition, Bach / Theodore Szanto piano transcriptions uploads would be nice....
I am looking for BWV531, 535, 555, 564 and 566.

Ah, I read this the other way around (because we have so much demand for piano arrangements). In that case, try M1060 and M1070 for orchestral transcriptions, and M1160 and M1170 for string orchestra transcriptions.

We do not seem to own these. We have Stradal's transcription of a Vivaldi concerto that he erroneously ascribed to W.F. Bach, but that was published in 1947. Wish we could help.

You can see what scores (and recordings, videos, books, etc. ) we own by searching our catalog here: http://sibley.lib.rochester.edu/.

There will also be links from there to the digital repository if we have already digitized them.

For Leonardi, you have to wait until 2018 (or last half of 2017 to upload but his contributions are blocked until January 1st, 2018) because of a full calender of the year the composer died.
