Hey, once more,

Has anyone got a piano 2-hands arrangement of Rossini's ubiquitous 'Largo al factotum' aria from his Barbiere di Siviglia? Even if only one that is "a very poor and distant approximation" like good ole Liszt would say

Cheers!

There are a few transcriptions of this opera, but the only one that i know for definate that covers this aria is by Grigory Ginsburg.

That's quite a bummer since I really need it more or less urgently. Do you know if it has been published by Hal-Leonard, Dover or some other publishing house?

It was published in Moscow in 1953. Cannot tell you by whom as i do not read Russian.
