Not a translation, but
http://elibrary.rsl.ru/?menu=s35/elibra ... 7/&lang=en
is an english language access to the digital music collection At 13329 items as of June 2011, this is a very large collection. However, individual parts are listed as separate items.
Searching with latin alphabet works very well, as most 19th century title pages were not excusively cyrillic.
Green links are free access (i.e. public domain works), red links are not free (as far as I can tell, all under copyright).
Once you have chosen an item with the green link, change to Acrobat Reader and click the button to download.

I found that a search in latin characters for Arensky produced 60 hits and the titles appear in cyrillic of course: cutting and pasting Аренский produced 150 hits. Happy hunting.

Hello RSL fans:
One point you might like to note with RSL: to make sure you have all the works by a given composer.
Find his/her works using Roman letters.
Copy the cyrillic version of the name (highlight and choose copy), from the left side of the screen.
Go back to the top of the page. Paste the cyrillic name into the search box and try again. You may find it gives you some more scores.
In my experience the simple search box is the most effective.
However, the main problem is getting too many answers . For example if you want to look for violin and piano pieces other than sonatas you enter "violin" and "piano" (best in French in fact for 19th c pieces). This gives you all the pieces with a variety of titles such as Romance Melody Serenade etc, but also unwanted p trios p quintets and so on.
Has anyone mastered the detailed search boxes?
Regards WB
