Komitas wrote a suite of delicate Armenian dances for solo piano, which were published in about 1916 by the German firm of Breitkopf & Härtel. These have been released a few times in recorded performances: the Komitas centenniel committee included a very pleasant performance of it in their celebratory LP set in 1969, and more recently, Grigory Sokolov included it on some recorded recital CD's, although he makes a rather sentimental, syrupy job of them, in my opinion. I believe the American composer Alan Hovhaness also recorded these charming pieces at some point.
I'm having no end of trouble trying to locate the published score; several letters to major libraries in Yerevan have gone unanswered, and the archivist at Breitkopf & Härtel (which is still in business in Germany) informs me that he has no titles by Komitas in the archives.
I am hoping that someone here may be able to help me locate the sheet music for this work, preferably the original edition, which I'm anxious to obtain, so that I may learn and play these wonderful pieces. Here is an extract from a Web page which discusses the piece further, and seems to indicate that a new, scholarly edition of Komitas' works was published more recently in Yerevan, which might contain the sheet music for this short suite:
