thanks for that allthumbs, someone must have the cello pieces

[zp3929]

i find it hard to believe that SOMEONE does not have it

[retrouvailles]

I find it easy to believe. From what I have heard, the cello pieces are lost. Also, remember, this is Bortkiewicz. Most people here have not even heard of him. He is a very obscure composer.

really? i really hope not, can anyone confirm this?

I would suggest you contact the Bortkiewicz scholar Mr Bhagwan Thadani. His e mail address is:

bthad@hotmail.com

He has helped me out in the past with Bortkiewicz and Godard scores.

If anyone knows, it will be him.

i e-mailed Bhagwan Thadani which he replied saying "Unfortunately, Op. 36, 38, 41 are missing from my collection." its a real shame that they are missing, i'm going to make it my mission to find a copy of these pieces, if anyone has any useful information about their whereabouts that would be great!

As I said before, I am pretty sure they are lost. You would have to scour the depths of many obscure libraries personally to find them, I think.
