try your local music library.  i think i saw several records, though i don't know about cd's with music minus one titles.  don't know about the net.

if you are going to a regular library - how hard is it to request items like this i wonder?  suppose it depends on the librarian and how friendly they are.  some like to prove their librarianship by getting all kinds of things for the library.

i can't afford to buy everything retail anymore.  i spent a lot of money last year on concerto cd's.  now, i see it's really a matter of being more frugal and perhaps even making your own (albeit maybe not perfect sounding - but tempos that you want).  for me, i'd have to ask my teacher if he would be willing to do this - as i'm not even sure of th etempos i'd want.  i like to get a general feel for things by his taste.  guess i'm sort of a sponge.  BUT, i do remember good tempos and interpretations when i hear them on the radio.  it sort of sticks in my head and i think - ok, that's how to play that!

music minus one - your kind of stuck with whomever is interpreting it- right?  but, then you can change it if you put your mind to it.  whatever i practice over and over usually stays the same - so i'd need a recording that was EXACTLY how i wanted to play it.
