I used to have to play Stranger In Paradise in bars years ago. But I guess that doesn't count.

No, not that part. I am mainly interested in the unplayable three-handed part which consists of eight bars of nightmare printed on three staves with the speed of MM 152. The first hand plays a running melody, the second hand plays running octaves, and the third hand plays oom-pah-pah! It is on pp. 10 and 25 of ''Alexander Borodin: Polovetskian Dances, from Prince Igor, piano reduction by Felix Blumenfeld'', published by M. P. Belaieff in Frankfurt (Nr. 105).
One way to play it is to divide the octaves between two hands, with heavy appregiation everywhere, but I have no idea whether this could ever be played up to speed convincingly...

I'm not familiar with that particular music, but your description sounds as though you're looking at an organ transcription, not piano. What you are describing would be done by playing the bass line (Oom Pah Pah) on the pedal manual and the running octaves can be done most easily with two stops on the great manual, say an 8' and a 4'. I'd be interested in looking at the page in question if you can scan it and send it to me??

No, it is a piano reduction, by Felix Blumenfeld (teacher of Barere and Horowitz). If Barere lived longer, he could have recorded it (wishful thinking)...

letters to be typed in
Give it to Hamelin, Scherbakov, or Cohen, then.
