O fortuna carmina burana sheet music imslp

Therewith I'd like to meet the desires of wide circles. This edition of the 'Carmina burana' with accompaniment of two pianos, kettledrums and percussion is meant for concert performances at schools and amateur music societies, where an orchestra isn't at their disposal. I owe Orff's edition for two pianos and percussion containing Orff's autograph stating the following: It is not intended as a score, for it lacks the percussion parts. In fact, 'Klavierauszug' means piano reduction, and the one available is not by Orff himself. I don't know enough about Orff to confirm the above one way or the other but I will do some research and if you are interested, will let you know.ДЄs far as I know (after singing this extraordinary piece a dozen times and studying the score very carefully) there is no edition for a single piano to substitute this massive orchestra. I wonder whether he meant to write it with such ancient markings (in keeping with its origins) or whether he wrote like that anyway? The whole piece seems to be written in some sort of quasi medievil standard. I have been lucky enough to borrow the bass and tenor 'score' (Vocal, circa 1936) from a friend and it is quite unique! The time signatures are marked above the stave (as opposed to within the stave) and there seems to be a plethora of 'scizura' (Cut) marks throughout the piece (//). You are right the piano score looks a bit of a handful! The bass line can be played with the left, but then both hands are needed to play the chordal work on the top (not impossible but you would have to be quite agile to race from left to right in such a short time). I did have a look at the score and it did seem to be a single piano copy.
