I love these pieces, especially the first one- In all honesty- the slow movement where the woodwind section prevails and the saxophone solo occurs moves me like NO other piece, and then Rachmaninoff pretends to close everything, but it is like a candle light slowly dissapearing and them bursting into a warm flame, when the orchestra suprisingly enters surrounding that theme, accompanied by the harps. His transition and modulation from the fiery C Sharp minor section into the woodwind passage are miraculous- Just look at the score.
These can be found in this Russian page, and I just singled out the files so that you don't get lost (in case you can't read Cyrillic letters). ENJOY!

The next two files are the actual music.https://notes.tarakanov.net/instrum/symdance2.zip https://notes.tarakanov.net/instrum/symdance3.zipIMPORTANT: If they do not open automatically, you might have to save it to your computer (documents) and open the file from there, as I did.
If you would like, I can also post the beautiful two-piano arrangements of the Symphonic Dances.
God bless
