Mozart 415

If you would indulge me.  I got tired of playing from the full score and I am in the mood to brush this beauty off for a home performance.

Would you happen to have it in two-piano version?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.  This is the small C major concerto, I think known as No. 13.  Truly a gem.

Boring note spinning.

Thank you.

You'll be mad at me, I just yesterday ordered a copy from Burt & Co. (Schirmer edition, I. Phillips, so no big Barenreiter money).

These nevertheless are very nice.  I like how the cadenzas are embedded, so there is no need to go fish them out during performance if you are not improvising your own (which I don't).

One day we'll have to electroshock your Schumann-Mozart thing out, but in the meantime, I just adore your taste for the great Romantic traditions victimized by the urtext generation.  I recall Hummel has some concerto transcriptions (491 comes to mind) and Alkan, of course (466).  Am I right that those you like better?

(or perhaps it's just 415 that's boring notespinning).

Thanks a million, this is very nice.  Plus, the burtnco stuff will be here in a few weeks, so this will get me started.
