Thanks so much for this!

I haven't posted in ages, but  always keep an eye on this forum.

I have only downloaded the recording of the second piano sonata, which i have been listening to recently. It's a fantastic piece, i am sure many consider it somewhat anachronic, but i love it.

Anyway i have struggled to find the score for this, can anyone help, please? Thanmks very much

Hi, i ve recently  "discovered" a wealth of "unsung" composers from the former USSR, through the Wartime Music series by the Northern Flowers label, and  although most of them are not up there with  guys like Prokofiev or Shostakovich in my opinon (nevertheless, worth checking), i think there are some who really should be getting much more recognition (specially compared to some other 20th century composers who are much better regarded).

The  most obvious examples are Weinberg (Vainberg), polish who fled to the USSR in 1939, and Boris Tchaikovsky (not related to Piotr Ilich). These two stand out  above the rest , or at least this is my impression. I need to give it some more time to listen to more of their stuff .

Weinberg s Symphony No.3 ... is it me or this is one of the most unfairly ignored symphonies of the 20th century?

And Tchaikovsky, Piano concerto,  and so much of his  huge catalogue ... how can these artists get so little recognition outside their homeland?
