I say, if anyone has access to the main Library of the above and would like to do a little job for me (expenses paid), please send me a PM.

You don't know he's looking for a score.  "Doing a job" sounds like old-time bank robbing to me.  Sounds like some sort of hit.

Have you considered an interlibrary loan? It might be better than entrusting some stranger from the internet with your money.

I am not a member of a library and I would not think they would lend a 110 year old score to someone 4000 miles away.

Perhaps it would just be best for me to ask them for a copy, but their website gives no indication if they offer a document supply service.

I don't know anyone that has ever ordered anything from them.

Indeed it is listed on Worldcat, but is missing when one searhces the actual University catalogue.

Indeed, but it is rather difficult to judge over the internet.

Yeah, I know. But I don't think you will find that many big frauds on a piano forum. Good luck btw.

Not so far old chap.

Some incredibly kind person is attempting to get this for me via Inter Library Loan.

There are indeed some lovely people here.

You'd be surprised. I can be quite fraudulent.

Incredibly, I have now had 2 kind offers.

It warms the heart to know that people who I have never met would help me like this.

I am sure mephisto would help me as well if he could ;D

On the topic of the piece, where the heck did you find out about this concerto?

Also, I would have offered to interlibrary loan it (as I did with the Hochberg concerto), but I don't have a library at the moment either.

Very kind of you old chap.

I have it in the back of my mind that you live in Norway. If this is still the case, there is this library.....................................
