Anatoly Alexandrov (1888-1982)

I can get the 2nd symphony easily, since it's right here and Cornell interloans regularly with the public library here (and is also right nearby...)-- see link. OCLC for interlibrary loan reference seems to be 63599889 . Whether there's a library that has it that loans to your library, I don't know! (It seems that mostly otherwise only NYPL, Northwestern, Toronto, Library of Congress, and Pancras have that OCLC #.)

I would be so grateful if you could get the score for the 2nd symphony. (Besides that, I wish I could access things from NYPL, so many amazing things are there, but I can't request any of them from where I live.)

Belatedly: my library won't interloan stuff from NYPL (without additional fee) anymore either, neither from the Branch Library and especially not from the offsite research library. In the case of NYPL their score of op.109 is an offsite item, published 1981 by Sov. kompozitor,
"Vtora︠i︡a simfoni︠i︡a, si bemolʹ mazhor, dl︠i︡a bolʹshogo simfonicheskogo orkestra",
research call number "JMF 84-524".

... wait, Op.109, yes, my library will interloan that, since it's at Cornell, right next door to us and with .. never mind. I will put in a request as I can (but fair warning, I kind of, erm, suck at scanning, ask anyone. I may try again e.g. with Josef Bohuslav Foerster's quartet no.1 in E major which I have in front of me on loan from Georgia Southern University, but... carefully and maybe just its scherzo-adjacent movement...). Yes, right. I'll put in a request soon. I think it's Op.92 I may be more interested in because that's the one we have a recording of, and btw NYPL has both in score...

As to Aleksandrov and the local library, besides some of his piano sonatas, I see that we also have the vocal score of a late opera of his (Levsha: opera ili tragikomicheskoe predstavlenie v dvukh deĭstvii︠a︡kh, s peniem, tant︠s︡ami, razgovorami, simfonicheskoĭ muzykoĭ i podkovannoĭ blokhoĭ, soch. 103"). That intrigues... well, me, anyway.

Wow, thank you so much! I really hope it works out! And if it should, as long as it is legible, any scan is welcome

I have a vinyl of "Levsha" (it's also on classic-online) - it's a lot like a children's musical, as there's a great deal of talking, I think more than singing. This is the piece from online: https://classic-online.ru/uploads/90800/90763.mp3. A lot of it is mostly the same as this Soviet cartoon, which has the same overture and is about the same length (though I think there are some differences): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr-iGFd3g9A&t=17s. I will say, the vinyl has a very beautiful cover design.
