Title: 2-piano, 4-hands transcription of Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Hob.III-39
Post by: jpmorgan on April 15, 2013, 11:54:30 PM

I'm trying to find the score for a two-piano, four-hands transcription someone did of Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Op.33, No.3. (Hoboken III-39). It's nicknamed "The Bird", and it's fairly well-known. I'm particularly interested in the last movement, the Rondo presto. The only recording I've heard of this piece performed on two pianos is at this site:

These are two fine young students of Irina Goring. I've contacted Ms. Goring by email, and asked her where I could get a copy of the score for two pianos, but she replied that it was in a book she brought back from Russia, and she had no further information about its origins.
I've seen 2-piano, 4-hands transcriptions of other Haydn string quartets, but not this one. Does anyone out there know who might have written this arrangement, and where the music would be available?

I do not have the Rondo by itself, but I have the full piece, transcribed for two pianos and four hands. It may not be perfect, though, so tell me if it needs changes.
