Hello. I have once again returned with a Sorabji work. Today's offering is Concerto No. 5 published with a 1923 copyright date (under the name Concerto II).

Re: Sorabji Concerto
We have an extensive list of corrections to this score, compiled by cellist and composer Mervyn Vicars and approved by the composer, although it is no doubt far from comprehensive; all of these early published Sorabji scores are error-ridden, some far worse than others and this is one of that tiny handful of them whose manuscript appears long since to have been lost (five of the others have suffered the same fate). There is also a copyist's copy of the solo piano part made at the composer's request for the work's dedicatee Alfred Cortot and annotated by the composer.
As much needed new typeset corrected editions of each of those early published scores are completed and issued, the demand for their original publications evaporates; we have noticed this ever since the first of them was produced quite a few years ago. So far, five of these have already been issued and five more are in various stages of preparation (although one of the latter was not originally published until 1931 in any case).
