I want that sheet music!

I have been listening to Miaskovsky's quartets (especially the 13th) rather obsessively, and would love to play them. Where is the sheet music? The Taneyev Quartet has to be playing from something!

Yes, futile!

I agree, Miaskovsky's string quartets are first rate, and there doesn't seem to be any source of scores. For those who may not know, the 13 quartets are available on Northern Flowers CDs in excellent performances by the Taneyev Quartet, and all 27 of the symphonic works are available in fine performances in a 16 CD set conducted by Evgeny Svetlanov at a bargain price. Let's hope this music will become better known in the West, and quartet scores eventually appear.

Futile Search!

I've been trying to find study scores, or any scores, of the 13 Miaskovsky string quartets, which are absolutely first rate, without success. This great composer has fallen out of sight, like Zemlinsky a few years ago, and like him needs a revival. Especially since the music is so relatively accessible, even for Americans!

Music

27 symphonies, 13 string quartets, 9 piano sonatas, a Violin Sonata, 2 Cello Sonatas, a Violin Concerto, Cello Concerto, 3 sinfoniettas for string orchestra, symphonic poems, overtures, piano pieces and songs.

Life

Studied under Glière. Close friend and fellow-student of Prokofiev, teacher of many Soviet composers including Kabalevsky, denounced by Zhdanov and Khrennikov at the 1948 Congress of the Soviet Composers’ Union for the sin of ‘formalism’ along with Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Posthumous Stalin Prize for his Symphony No.27.
