Has anybody ever come across the score for this transcription?

Thank you.

Stravinsky is Copyright in Canada where IMSLP is hosted.

However, due to the fact that he didn't renew the copyright US it is PD there.

I wonder if this transcription has even been published--even if it's available for purchase.

I'm looking for any information I can find on this piece and its possible whereabouts.

It seems that WorldCat has only recordings listed.

However, if you're looking for a piano 2-hand version of "Rite of Spring" (as well as the other two early ballets all in one volume), Schirmer came out with an edition a few years ago. I don't have my copy at hand right now, but I recall that is is a new transcription, so it would be under copyright.

Of course, this link: http://astore.amazon.com/intemusiscorl- ... 03-6917206 is the best one for obtaining the 2 pianos version from Amazon!
