Title: Alfred Gradstein - Piano Concerto No.1
Post by: promusician on Wednesday 04 June 2025, 11:26
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! :)
