Dearest Harriet

Here is the concerto
(1) Full score
(2) Pfte solo with indications of orchestra (N.B.  If you ever try this on 2 pftes you must play certain bits in green ink which I c^d not get on to the 2^nd pfte part)
(3) Orchestra arranged for 4 hands (it w^dnt go on 2)
These are the only copies in the world!
