Re: Batuque (Negro dance) - Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez
Unfortunately, as it turns out, the item (from "Malazarte") published by Peer is the piece now distributed by Hal Leonard. Still looking for any mention of a published score for "Reisado do pastoreio" or the "Batuque" movement from same. Bernstein apparently recorded it...

Re: Shostakovich Jazz Suite no.1 Plucked instrument
This from the Boosey and Hawkes blurb for the Jazz Suite #1: In the 1930s jazz was highly popular in the Soviet Union. Shostakovich was particularly interested in this kind of music, especially as it was practised within the USSR by his colleagues and friends. So he was delighted when he was asked t...

Re: R. Schumann's Masquerade Suite
If that is the Goldstone CD, it apparently includes a piano arrangement of Khachaturian's Masquerade Suite, as well as the Schumann "Carnaval" and other pieces. The Khachaturian work is a compilation of orchestral music written to accompany a Lermontov play. I suspect the CD may not be lis...

Re: R. Schumann's Masquerade Suite
Do you perhaps mean either "Papillons" or "Carnaval"?

Seeing the dance as part of the ballet might be of interest to you.

Re: Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings op.11
Postscript: the information I gave refers to the Barber String Quartet which contains the "Adagio". I see no listing of the movement by itself for quartet, although there seems to be a separate string _orchestra_ version available for just the "Adagio"...

Re: Batuque (Negro dance) - Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez
A quick glance at World Cat shows 3 scores listed for "Batuque" with various publication dates from Peer international, Ricordi, and an outfit called "New Music" (?), the last dated 1939, which also seems to be the earliest date listed for any of the three publishers. Now here's ...

Re: Batuque (Negro dance) - Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez
It seems as though the piece was part of a 3-movement suite that the composer extracted in 1941 from a previous opera. Hal Leonard has a study score for $10.

Re: Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings op.11
If your friend is conducting a string quartet or playing in one, I don't see how you can get the parts for less than $17.00, which is what the publisher (Hal Leonard) currently charges for the four string parts. A separate study score is available for $15.00.

Re: Chopin's Ballade no.2 in F Major
I would suggest thinking of the downward movement as a shift to the left of each third (4th/5th fingers on F/A) _over_ the thumb without changing the angle of the wrist. Do not let the elbow move outward as the shift takes place.

Re: Reger, Albumblatt and Tarantella
"Albumblatt" is a single item (in German - albumleaf); German plural would be Albumblätter.

Re: Holbrooke, Violin Sonata op.6
I just listened to the ITunes previews for the Nocturne and Scherzo of the Violin Sonata; the music is not the same as the Andante and Presto on IMSLP.
