    I've searched the www hi & lo but cannot get my hands on this part of the suite...probably because it was made popular in the movie "eyes wide shut". I've searched the link in the sticky but to no avail. I don't need the full score. If possible in Cm but Dm would also do.

    Are you looking for the original score or an arrangement?

    IMHO DSCH was probably the most versatile composer of the 20th century. My favourite box set is the Barshai collection of his 15 symphonies, and last year's performance of the No. 7, 'Leningrad' in the Waterfront Hall up in Belfast with the Marinsky under Gergiev was a highlight of the year. His ability to write concertos for different instruments (his wonderful violin and cello concertos, his concerto for piano and trumpet) as well as his ability to write music like the various jazz suites and film scores marks him out as one of the most remarkable and memorable composers I've ever heard.

    ...I agree, but don't see what that has to do with my post or with the thread...

    Unfortunately, Shostakovich lived to old age so his music is not yet in the public domain. :P

    Maybe have a look in some of the libraries in town, but you might have to buy it.

    ...Libraries in town.. unfortunately ... I don't live in the big City. I depend on the benevolence of others for further development. 'The Mad Hatter' if 'Dirigent' wished to expand my knowledge and that of the boards I think it is a little cruel to castigate for divergence. Extrapolation is knowledge...IMHO

    I see. A discussion on an Internet forum regarding a particular Classical musician can only focus on the OP, and any widening of the topic to the rest of the oeuvre is not allowed. I assume the Mad Hat has a peak.

    Lol! Come now, he hardly castigated Dirigent! :P

    And in fairness Dirigent's post does come off as impertinant and, frankly, a bit pretentious!

    :)

    That's actually how it generally works. That way the OP gets the answer they were looking for. Maybe after wards, you could discuss related topics, but its considered rude to go off topic rather than directly engage with the original question. :)

    Nobody is saying what you posted was wrong, just slightly misplaced. :)

    I think I saw this score in the discount €9.99
    section a while back in McCullough Piggot's
    I could look again this week, to see if it's still there.
