I am sorry to share the news that he beautiful and effective webvendor MyScoreStore.com is out of business.
I used to sell my arrangements of
• "Fanstasy on motives of La Cumparsita" (as seen on YouTube) for solo violin
• "Fantasy on motives of El Choclo" for solo violin
through their website. If you are really interested in having this music, contact me. For the same price they used to charge (10 euros) I'll see that you receive an exemplar.
