Nicholas and Alexandra "Too beautiful to last"
I have been looking for this title for almost thirty years.
Not a piano version but the original violin version.
Can anyone help me out?

nathaliedp,
The soundtrack version is short and not so beautiful as the Henry Mancini's piano version,but I have it.Where are you from?

I am assuming you probably mean the score for Nicholas and Alexandra written by Richard Rodney Bennett. If so, this title was, so far, never published on CD, only on LP.
I have in my possesion a bootleg version on CD which I obtained at an auction. If this is the score you are looking for I might be able to help you.
Let me know, just send me an e-mail.

I too am looking for the violin version of Too Beautiful to Last...did you find it, either the audio or the sheet music?

Good news.
I looked for this for a long time too. I finally found it ... sort of by accident. But I have the soundtrack.
Let me know how to send it to you and I'll send it as an attachment.

you guys are amazing.......took me just 13 years to find you all.
I worked in the late 1970s in my dad's basement making electronics for telementery and data aquisition systems. There was a Classical Station in Philly WWDB or EZ101 or something and I have been searching for this exact rendition. i have paino, other versions, etc. etc. etc. etc. and been running searches for years. Contact the 101 Strings ......... even contacted Bennet's group (he is a Pennslvanian (scranton/wilkes barre) but as soon as Ii said violin they keep giving me the full orchetreal versions and etc. I have been looking for this "huaunting" and tragic violin version.
My father passed away in 1995 and it has been the occsasion search on the internet for me when I am just thinking of him.
THANK YOU - ALL!!!!!!
