I am asking here if anyone can help to find a printed orchestral parts for this concerto. Worldcat listed an entry but didnt specify which library has it. I know the manuscripts are at Polish National Library but I try not to order from them.
What format does Newberry Library have?
Never mind.
In my experience when Worldcat lists Auffuhrungsmaterial it's linking to something like D-NB and also means that the parts may be on rental from whoever owns the publisher (Eschig) (Durand Salabert Eschig)...
I can answer your question, Eric. Newberry has only a 2-piano score.

Thanks Eric! I often wonder what that means. Then found the work available for order at Zinfonia, it said it was processes by Casa Ricordi (who bought over Eschig?)
Yep, "Concerto no 1 pour piano et orchestre / par Alfred Gradstein ; réduction pour 2 pianos." - hence the never mind - thanks! :)
National Library of Poland (Biblioteca Narodowa) has the full score of Gradstein's PC - https://katalogi.bn.org.pl/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991052716605105066&context=L&vid=48OMNIS_NLOP:48OMNIS_NLOP&lang=pl&search_scope=NLOP_IZ_NZ&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=LibraryCatalog&query=any,contains,Gradstein%20Concerto&offset=0 (https://katalogi.bn.org.pl/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991052716605105066&context=L&vid=48OMNIS_NLOP:48OMNIS_NLOP&lang=pl&search_scope=NLOP_IZ_NZ&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=LibraryCatalog&query=any,contains,Gradstein%20Concerto&offset=0)
At least, according to World Cat.
