I'm not sure this is still published. Schirmer changed hands a lot in
the late 1980's while trying to stay alive. They finally ended up being
owned by Hal Leonard, who then proceeded to cut out a lot of stuff.
FYI, they do mostly rentals now. The showroom is long gone. A lot of
classic publishers went belly-up around then. A lot more are going to
go belly-up as their cash cows go into public domain. Carter,
Schoenberg, Berio .... They just don't pull in the cash like Ravel,
Debussy and Stravinsky. As soon as a classic composition goes Public
Domain, either Dover or Kalmus (aka Hal Leonard) brings out a version at
1/10th the cost -- with no rental fees, and no performance license.
