Hey guys.

Do any of you know where I could get ahold of some sheet music (for the violin) in Russian? It's a bit of a pretentious request, I realize, but any help you can provide would be completely awesome. I don't have anything specific in mind - Rachmaninoff, maybe Tchaikovsky, but really, anything. Amazon and russkieknigi.com didn't turn up anything for me.

Thanks in advance!

Где почта?

[joliecanard.livejournal.com]

When I learned Russian, I remember learning that налево/направо was for direction (As in, поверните направо) and слева/справа was for location (As in, Почта слево). In the book I'm teaching from now, it says "Где почта? Направо."

Has this changed? Is the distinction weakening/disappearing? Is "Где почта? Направо." acceptable now or is this book making a major error? Or is my memory just playing tricks on me?

EDIT: Okay thanks. After scouring the text, I haven't found any instances that can't be explained by ellipses of the verb of motion. But this is a sloppy textbook. What the hell is the point of introducing "giving directions" if they're not going to even give the verb "to turn"? They just have "Идите прямо, а потом налево". The text is Troika, fyi.

Just reminding
