Hi all.

I’m trying to find a copy of some piano sheet music for a friend - the piece is “Reminiscences des Huguenots”, by Franz Liszt. I’ve looked all over the web, and haven’t been able to find a copy. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.

I’m not necessarily looking for a free copy, although free is always good. But I (or he, rather) wouldn’t mind paying money for it.

I looked around online and couldn’t find one, but you might want to check a nearby college with a music department. I found a copy in the music library of Indiana University, for instance.

The library suggestion is a good idea. If you live in or near a big city, the public library might have it.

This is a large Chicago music store: [http://www.carlfischer.com/](http://www.carlfischer.com/). You can email them at [cf-info@carlfischer.com](mailto:cf-info@carlfischer.com).

I searched their catalog for that title, but it didn’t turn up.

I’m actually just starting at MIT this fall, so I think I can probably manage to find a good library or two around town. 😃

Thanks for the help!

_Twinge of jealousy_…for proximity to decent libraries, you’re better positioned than just about anyone else on earth…grrr… 🙂
