Leo Ornstein
on: August 10, 2016, 06:03:22 AM
Hi guys! I was wondering if someone is familiar with Leo Ornstein's Suicide in an Airplane. In a recent research, I found a score at Sheetmusicplus of this piece, but it's ridiculously expensive, US$ 29.95! (The Dover book that contains this same piece, with lots of others, which I have, costs 24.95 dollars at the same website). It's a german edition called Noten Roehr, does anyone know whether or not their editions are good? I was planning on studying it again, and a different edition would be a good idea, but as most of Ornstein's material was edited by his son, Severo Ornstein, I don't know whether or not this expensive edition will be the same as the one in IMSLP...
