Lalo;Rachmaninoff;Taneyev=HELP

[pianorarities]

Please could someone help me find the following or point me in the right direction:

Taneyev- Any of his music for solo piano. (Was published by Russian State in 1950's)
Lalo- Guitarre for Violin and Piano Opus 28 (Currently out of print)
Rachmaninoff- Four Improvisations (Was published by Hinshaw) Includes Glazunov etc.

I would be most grateful if anyone could let me have any information or if anyone is willing to send on scans,photocopies maybe.  I have searched high and low, libraries and the web!

Many thanks,

Pete Smith

www.piano.ru would have provided great results for those russians, but wel..

www.sheetmusicarchive.net is probably one of the best out there

This is all I could find, a Prelude and Fugue op.29. Glenn Gould recorded his "Ballade", but beyond that he is a shadowy figure, more talked about than heard.

Many of the Soviet editions published in the old USSR are currently unavailable, and many of those works published under liscence by Western publishers are now unavailable also. For example I bought Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues op.87 about 8 years ago in a Dover edition. This is now unavailable owing to a Russian lawsuit, ditto for Khachaturian's Piano Concerto, which used to be available through International but is now out of print. Don't know if this just affects music from the Soviet Union  or Czarist era compositions also. Hopefully you will find a way around this....

I attach the Taneyev that Arensky mentioned.

Also the Rach.

No idea about the Lalo.
