rach's cello sonate in G minor
on: August 18, 2005, 12:11:19 AM
hello people, i am looking on the internet for the sheet music of rachmaninoff's cello sonate in G minor. do somebody know a webpage where i can find it? i check the internet because it is the most easy way to look for something in my case. i looked for it in several music libraries but i couldn't find it.

by the way, somebody knows where to find sheet music of other works for piano and cello??

I prefer the international edition. Keep in mind that this is a very difficult piece for piano (I can't comment on the cello part, though I know it's not easy). There are many, many awkward sections with large chords and large leaps. Even the third movement is can be awkward if you have smallish hands like me (the voicing gets complicated at times).

It's a beautiful piece, but be prepared for some hard work. :)
