Bortkiewicz - Piano Concerto No.2
on: April 08, 2009, 09:30:52 PM
Does anyone have, by any chance, a readable edition of Bortkiewicz's second piano concerto?

Many thanks,

Joe Wallace

It's not the best. I suspect you've seen this copy, but here it is anyway.

A gentleman on Gamingforce did typset this piece, although if i remember he did not claim 100% accuracy.

The gentleman who scanned the manuscript on the previous post, presumably did so with inferior equipment.

I m sure your equipment is fine. Maybe it's the edition that isn't so fine.

1. They have not got it.
2. They are absurdly expensive.
3. Their claim to have 545,000 pieces means that they have 544,000 versions of Beethoven Sonatas and a few other popular pieces.
