Improvisation On Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique" Andant

Shawn

Does anyone have sheet music, midi file, tab file, etc. to this song? In particular I would like sheet music for Stephane Grappelli's violin parts (I also play violin), or even sheet music for the original version by Tchaikovsky...and to a lesser extent I would love Django's solo. Or, if anyone has a midi file, I could just convert that into sheet music.

You can find the whole score here (not Django's version):

but that may be too much info for what you need...
have a look at this too:

Good luck,
Jack.

Thanks for that Jack, it will come in very handy! On a side note...do you know which movement Django and Stephane were doing the Improv over? It appears that Pathetique has several movements as is common with most classical music. Thanks!

Jack

Hi Shawn,

If you look at the second link above, the fourth movement is the only one marked Andante...I assume that's what you'll want, but I'm not really familiar enough with the piece to say.

Best,
Jack.

Thanks again Jack, I didn't notice that. It's a beautiful piece I have been wanting to learn for awhile, but couldn't find sheet music to it.

As usual, sad to say I've got gigs that weekend. Sometime soon I really just need to pick a date and go down, shows or no shows.

Were you talking about the IMSLP site? I just stumbled onto it, but it looks great...

Best,
Jack.
