I wonder if retrouvailles or anyone else might have Op. 40?

Hi Josh,

Of the seven, I'm especially interested in Op. 40, No. 4 in F#. Might you have that one?

Hi thalbergmad,

Thanks so much! As you know, some of Bortkiewicz's opus numbers are really hard to find.
I really appreciate it!

If either Thal or I is stumped, you could try to order from Bhagwan Thadani. Stay away from his recordings, though. I hear that they're horrendous.

Indeed, he is a very helpful and nice man. I think i have just about ordered everything he had that i did not from his Bortkiewicz and Godard files.

The recordings are average, but the video on the life and music of Bortliewicz is interesting. You don't need to take aout a mortgage to buy from him either.

Hi thal,

Great info. I'll keep BT in mind if I get stuck on sourcing some of Sergei B's music. Good to know!
