Looking for the Kraft Concerto in C
I am looking for sheet music for the Kraft Cello Concerto in C. Anyone know who publishes it?

Re: Looking for the Kraft Concerto in C
Short answer: Artaria

Long answer:

Antonin Kraft. "Koncert C Dur". Edited by Josef Chuchro. Piano reduction by Milan Solc. Musica Viva Historica, 2. Prague: Statni Hudebni Vydavatelstvi (Export: Artaria), 1961.

I don't know if it's still in print. A lot of libraries might have it in the Musica Viva Historica series, but, depending on their cataloging, it might not show up in a search for Kraft.

Kraft score + Bylsma a must...
This piece was discussed way back. I don't know if there are any other recordings other than the old Bylsma with Tafelmusik. But his version, with his concomitant cadenzas and interpolations, is a must-hear. The second movement, for example, is taken up a fifth and is more interesting in transposition, IMHO. All around a stellar interpretation, excellent playing. Comes with the Haydn D, also excellent, cadenzas especially. I was once interested in performing this piece, and called the librarian at Tafelmusik, who generously offered copies of the string parts...only thing she didn't have was Bylsma's part, a lot of which he made up, spur of the moment...talk about a classy musician!

Another CD with the Kraft C Major is available from the Czech Republic from Musica Bona. In addition to the Op. 4 concerto, there is the second Kraft C major concerto known as "Syedels Concerto" on the CD, as well as the Polonaise for Cello and Orchestra Op. 2 by Mikulas Kraft. It is on the Czech Panton label Cat. no. 81 1024-2 031. The cellist is Jiri Hosek with the Prague Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Josef Hrncir. I order the CD from them and it arrived in five days from the Czech Republic.
