A Free Grand Piano? – Scammers Target Piano Enthusiasts

If you’re in the market for a piano, be cautious of a new scam that’s targeting music lovers, businesses, schools, and churches. Scammers are offering “free” pianos but with hidden fees that can add up to hundreds of dollars and, as you may have guessed, the piano will never be delivered. Read more

Let me help a little here.

I think you are talking about this piece, recently broadcast in "From the Top":

https://www.fromthetop.org/Programs/RadioShows.cfm?sid=154

Here it is spelled Berkovitch:  https://www.stellatimenova.com/repertoire.html

I think they are referring to Isak Berkovich.  He appears to compose music for young pianists.  Not to be confused with Serge Bortkiewicz, who some think is the peer of Rachmaninoff.

No idea how to find the score, but chances are this is still under copyright.

Best of luck,
IU

I have it, but I'm not sure if it's copyrighted or whatever. Man if this site was like GFF, it would be a lot easier to post scores.

Hi Kitty on the keys, may I know where did you buy this score from? I'm looking for the score, thus I found that pianonote only sells with a direct purchase, which seems unfeasible as I'm not living in the Eastern Europe.

Any reply from anybody who know about purchasing this score would be greatly appreciated! Thanks  ;)
