There was an ancient recording of No.2 on youtube so assumed the score was extant. Bit sloppy I know

I haven't been able to find it, I'm afraid.

Giles: "score" in the sense of "score and parts or at least just parts" were extant - a conductor could do with a very well-marked reduction, I imagine. (assuming conductor, too. ... someone sometime is going to have to explain to me -- sometime -- whether conductorless orchestras always use scores or sometimes everyone just parts... )

[Gareth Vaughan]

Agreed, Eric. But, although I have made extensive enquiries, I have not been able to locate either full score or orchestral parts of any of the PCs. They must have existed at one time of course and, using a 2-piano score, could probably be reconstructed from the recordings (at least in the case of 2 - on YouTube - and possibly 1 - if BnF catalogue is correct and they have it). This, however, would be a labour of love for someone.

Understood, sorry!
