Petrushka Russian Dance - Stravinsky for piano 4 hands
on: September 04, 2016, 09:14:14 AM
Hello! I am looking for the score of Petrushka's Russian Dance. I would like to play it with my piano teacher, but I can't find it on the internet...

Thank you

So you don't think good music is worth paying for???

I am NOT going to help you find it for free. I'm sick of people who will pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on their electronic items - iPads, iPhones, TV's etc... but won't spend a little money on sheet music???

Pathetic.

I also buy certain sheets but this one I want to try out playing first. Maybe it is too difficult, I don't know.

The hard sheets are still worth buying. It makes you strive to achieve that level.

I remember getting a copy of the piece Fantasie Impromptu when I was 9, and I was mesmerised that people could play music that difficult. It was years and years before I ever got to learn that, but I had it in my library all this time and I reached for it with delight and headed straight to the piano to practice it.

All music is worth buying. If you're looking for free, try your local library. See if they have it.

them write to the publisher  and ask for a 1 or 2 page sample , many make this available for that reason.  Or , check it out from your library for a fiew days,if library does not have it in collection, talk to circulation services and ask for interlibrary loan.
Or find a retailer with a flexible or generous returns and exhanges policy and buy it, if too hard and you dont want to keep it (which is best option so you have it when you are ready), you can exhange for store credit and use ro biy somethung else, there is literallt option after option available to you...
