Shostakovich Preludes & Fugues—MCA Julien Musafia edition
on: June 08, 2023, 08:19:45 PM
Hi all, lurked here for a long time but never made an account.

I'm looking to learn a few of the Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues (op. 87). I own the two-volume Peters edition but it has no fingering suggestions, and they're tricky pieces.

Apparently the pianist Julien Musafia edited an edition of them published by MCA/Hal Leonard back in the 60s or 70s, and his edition has lots of fingering suggestions. Unfortunately that edition is out of print (probably because Shostakovich's works are again under copyright as of the 90s) and I haven't been able to find a copy for sale anywhere online. I haven't seen any scans available online either.

Does anyone here have a copy of the Musafia they'd be willing to scan (or sell)?

And please don't say it's pointless to get fingering suggestions—I've been playing piano for 30 years and I find it very helpful to compare fingerings when learning pieces.
