Hello to everyone!

Could you please recommend any possibility to hire, purchase or find somehow the piece by Richard Strauss called:

Der Zweikampf (The Duel) in B flat major, polonaise for flute, bassoon and orchestra
Year of origin: 1884, o.op. 82 (TrV 133)

Maybe you could assist with the contacts of someone who owns the rights or could help. Already I have tried to email here, but unfortunately haven't received any answer:

email@richard-strauss-society.co.uk
info@richardstrauss.org

Thanks for any assistance.

Kind regards,
Andrey

Dear David,

Thank you for your kind help. Not sure if I search correctly (probably you could suggest additionally with the link), but here is what I have found:

http://www.docs.is.ed.ac.uk/docs/subjec ... l_sets.pdf

STRAUSS, R.
“DUET FOR FLUTE AND BASSOON WITH ORCHESTRA” = ZWEIKAMPF IN B♭ major: POLONAISE
NB LEND PHOTOCOPY ONLY – MS COPY OF RARE SCORE Recorded on Fiona’s list of music
Transferred to
Special collections

Don't sure what it means. I will try to find contacts of librarian of the University and ask him for additional information.

Thanks for your assistance.

Kind regards,
Andrey

It seems to indicate that the actual MS is not available for loan, but a photocopy would be provided.

Thank you David for your kind help!
