Finding a song on iTunes - help needed

After realizing I either lost or gave away one of my CDs I thought I'd search for the particular piece on iTunes, but am coming up empty handed.

The piece I'm searching for is Tchaikovsky's Theme and Variations (Suite No. 3 for Orchestra). I've tried everything from searching by composer, Op. No., Suite No., but nothing.

Any suggestions? Or could it be that this might not be available on iTunes? Thank you!

I went crazy looking for this same piece last year Dottie. I didn't find it anywhere for download. There is a great cd on amazon which has all his concertos and select tracks are downloadable. Unfortunately No. 3 Tema con variazonni was not one of them b/c it's 20 minutes long.

I just ordered the whole cd and imported it into itunes.

Here is the link if you want to buy it:

Thanks Tazber. Obviously we have the same wonderful taste in music! I saw that same CD on Amazon this morning. I'm going to check Barnes & Noble today to see if they have this. This is why I miss Tower Records and the like.

Saw ABT last night at The Kennedy Center. They danced to this piece and it made me want to listen to it again.

Yes, that's it as well (Suite No. 4 in G major - IV). Too bad I can't download it.
