Hello! I intend to record works by Soviet composers for trombone and piano. No transcriptions, arrangements. Only original works. During the Soviet period, there have been many interesting works that are unknown, forgotten now. This does not mean that they are bad. I want to give them concert life again. This is the first such work. GENDELEV - Spanish Dance! Please, enjoy!

Thanks!

There's a gold mine of Soviet pieces we know almost nothing about here.

Edison Denisov has a trombone and piano work, as does Violetta Dinescu who is Romanian but grew up there while it was part of the eastern bloc.

If you have any flexibility on the trombone/piano side, Denisov  also has a great work for clarinet, trombone, cello,and piano. Alfred Schnittke also has a nice work for trombone and organ.

Hi everyone!
B. KOGEVNIKOV. 2 pieces. Arioso and Scherzo. Please,  enjoy!

So far my favorite is that Humoresque.

Out of curiosity, are you playing some manner of valve trombone?

Is the sheet music available somewhere?

Thanks for interest!
This is a problem. I think there is no chance that the sheet music will be reissued. Of course, I can make a nice copy and sell through online publisher. It's illegal, you know. 
I'm not sure that's a good idea...I can send a handwritten (scanned) sheet music to you personally, do you want?

In case anyone is curious, PULSE POSITIVE has been leaving nicely recorded samples on YouTube, and announcing it on Facebook.

Now I am no lawyer, but to my knowledge Soviet works published before Feb 27, 1973 are not protected by copyright (at least outside what was then the Soviet Union) as the SU had not signed the UCC. This should make it legal to make the scores available on e.g. IMSLP and for people to download them assuming these are published by Soviet publishers before the date mentioned above.

It's complicated. According to wikipedia the post-Soviet rule is life plus 50 years after death (or "rehabilitation"  ) or first publication.

QuoteThat new Russian law had a general copyright term of 50 years p.m.a.[145] and was retroactive,[146] restoring copyright on works on which the shorter Soviet copyright terms had already expired[147] and even copyrighting works that had until then not been considered copyrightable works at all (such as performances, which under the 1993 law were subject to a neighbouring right that had not existed under Soviet legislation).[148] The new Russian copyright terms from the 1993 law became applicable to all works of authors who had died 1943 or later, or to works published in 1943 or later.[149] For authors who had lived and worked during the Great Patriotic War, the copyright term was extended by four years; the corresponding year for such authors and their works was thus 1939.[150] For work first published after the death of the author, the term started at the posthumous publication of the work,[151] and for posthumously rehabilitated authors, the copyright term of the 1993 law began to run with their rehabilitation, making it possible that even older works were placed under copyright again in these cases—examples include the works of Boris Pilniak (executed in 1938, rehabilitated in 1957), Isaac Babel (executed 1940, rehabilitated 1954), or also Osip Mandelstam (died 1938, rehabilitated 1956/1987).[152] Other authors on whose works copyright was restored were Anna Akhmatova (died 1966), Vera Mukhina (died 1953, sculptor of the statue "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman"), Aleksey Shchusev (died 1949, architect of the Lenin Mausoleum), Aleksey Tolstoy (died 1945), and many others.[152] An extreme example is Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita: the work was first published posthumously in 1966. At that time, the Soviet copyright term of then 15 years p.m.a. had already expired as Bulgakov had died in 1940. The new Russian copyright law from 1993 placed this work under copyright again, because the 50-year term was calculated from 1966 on.[153]

The old Soviet law was thus rendered largely obsolete in Russia; it remained applicable only to copyright violations that had occurred before August 3, 1993.[154]
