I'm trying to find the score for a two-piano, four-hands transcription someone did of Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Op.33, No.3. (Hoboken III-39). It's nicknamed "The Bird", and it's fairly well-known. I'm particularly interested in the last movement, the Rondo presto. The only recording I've heard of this piece performed on two pianos is at this site:



These are two fine young students of Irina Goring. I've contacted Ms. Goring by email, and asked her where I could get a copy of the score for two pianos, but she replied that it was in a book she brought back from Russia, and she had no further information about its origins.
I've seen 2-piano, 4-hands transcriptions of other Haydn string quartets, but not this one. Does anyone out there know who might have written this arrangement, and where the music would be available?

I do not have the Rondo by itself, but I have the full piece, transcribed for two pianos and four hands. It may not be perfect, though, so tell me if it needs changes.
Per novitatem, artium est renascatur.

Finished with making music for quite a long time.
