Tchaikovsky Concerto Fantasy in G major
on: May 11, 2004, 10:14:50 PM
Does anybody own the score or have any where is published?
Also, what do you think about the difficulty level of this piece?
Thank you,
Bitus.

Unless you're talking about a piece other than Tchaikovsky's concerto in G major, it is there.... in the ibiblio.org link

no, it's not that one... here's a link to listen to it:

I just discovered it by listening to a complete tchaikovsky concertos recording, and its magnificant, but it seems impossible to find the score.
Thank you anyway,
The Bitus.

I have this piece.  It is on a Russian sheet music site:

https://lib-scores.narod.ru/

Downloads from this site are extremely slow, but they do work.  As I said, the site is Russian, so you will want your browser to display links.  This particular file is just slightly over halfway down the page.

If you can't retrieve it from this site, let me know and I'll be happy to email it to you.

No. Unfortunately it is beyond my technical abilities.
But I agree with you, it is a very nice work that is unjustly neglected.

Ok... i have the pdf, and the printed copy... but my i would not be allowed to play it in a competition out of a printed copy... i would need to have an original published copy with piano reduction. Can anybody help?
I found the orchestral part, but i don't think it includes a piano reduction.
Thank you,
Bitus.

Bitus,

I like this piece quite a bit...it is as difficult as the first concerto, less played and lots of fun.  I don't play the piece but I heard Jerome Lowenthal play it on the radio and he seemed to be having a lot of fun.  

I'm sure you can buy the score...it's not that uncommon.
