I do, of course, but there is something you have not quite figured
out. Orekhov had never written out anything. He expected his duo
partner, on the Melodiya LP it is Alexei Perfiliev, to simply
accompany ad libitum whatever he played, which was almost always
improvisatory.
Perfiliev was also the accompanist first time I heard the live, at the
Tychy Festival in 1988, and indeed, they worked together for many
years. But Orekhov had worked also with many other people, and
particularly, with his wife, the gypsy singer Nadezhda Vershinina.
There are many manuscripts around, mostly done by people who had taken
Orekhov's music off his recordings, without exception, all done for
the solo Russian 7-str. guitar. There are also a small number of
published editions done in the old Soviet Union. As you probably know,
I published two of Orekhov's pieces, the Troika Fantasy, which he
personally approved for publication some months before he died, in a
version for the six string guitar, and the Moscow Evenings fantasy in
Vol. VII of the Russian Collection.
I am not sure how much of the rest of the stuff is playable on the six
string guitar.
