Thnx!

Where do you find these scores? There's a number of Soviet scores I would love to have, but unfortunately can't.

[@comradestannis]

Soviet scores are the best scores.

Try to check some libraries of the comprehensive universities

@@quinone_bob I do try a number of times through interlibrary loan, and while it does work for a number of things, I don't always get what I want. (Also, there are a few pieces that just aren't in any American libraries.) Unfortunately, most of my favorites are in the New York Public Library, but I'm not in New York and they don't do interlibrary loans.

that's a pity

@@TheodoreServin Just between you and me, when a score I needed existed in only one far-away university library, I put an ad on the local craigslist looking for a student to do some "library research". I paid a student to go in and quietly spycam every page on their iPhone. Of course it was all 100% legal since the score's copyright had expired.
But don't tell anyone I told you this.
