Deux Impromptus Op.4:1. Esperance for Violin and Piano by Lalo

[r591]

Hi, Dear friends!
I'm looking for the sheetmusic of Deux Impromptus Op.4:1. Esperance for Violin and Piano by Lalo.
It is shown in Lalo's works list, but there is no link to corresponding sheetmusic.
I would appreciate very much if you can help me to find it.

One would probably have to find sheet music, maybe at a library (British Library, French National Library...) since it doesn't seem to have been digitized anywhere (that I can find) nor reprinted yet (though it's been recorded once or twice.)

Indeed BNF has it https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb44909892f but they are not open to digitization suggestions.

I think the British Library may be, though, for a fee, and they have it as well. The only online source that Worldcat suggested might have it was the Netherlands Music Institute. (Edit: BL-UK does have it in their catalogue; shelfmark h.3959.a.(4.).)

And the British Library has'nt yet recovered from a cyber-attack in October 2023!

I'd forgotten about that, d**n
This is not the best decade for libraries, in a way.
