Olde Tyme Cornet Solos and Two Recent Tuba Pieces

[wrobotuba]

Greetings all-

Might any of you out there have the following peices:

ACCOMPANIMENT:
Ideal Collection of Famous Cornet Solos
Piano Part.........2.00
(the solo book is 1.00)
Carl Fischer, Inc.
copyright indications on most of the pieces hover around the early 1900's. One of them is 1938, which still makes it too "new" to freely copy.

Contest Album
Containing solos Selected by the
NATIONAL CONTEST COMMITTEE
Some originally written for the
Paris Conservatory
Piano Part........Price Unknown
(the solo book is 2.00)
Cundy-Bettoney
Carl Fischer, Sole Selling Agents

I have checked the websites of the publishers and that yielded zero results. If any of you may have, or know someone who might have these accompaniments in a PDF format and would be willing to send them, that would be of fantastic help. Or, if you wanted to sell them, if it will help you sleep better knowing you haven't broken any laws, that is fine too.

For these two books, I have the original solo parts. Perhaps the piano accompaniments got lost over Anchorage or something....


There are two tuba works, which I had been trying to obtain, and were any of you out there to have them saved in PDF (or know of someone who does) and would be willing to pass them along, that would be wonderful as well:

Vagn Holmboe: Concerto For Tuba Op.127
Anders Koppel: Concerto For Tuba Solo

From the selling agent:
These items have been on backorder for over three months and the publisher has not been able to tell us when the items will be available. Unfortunately, when titles are on backorder for this amount of time it often indicates that they will stay on backorder for many more months or are going out of print. As we are unable to leave customer orders open indefinitely, we have no choice but to cancel this order at this time.

For the copyright Nazis:
I'm not looking to scam anyone out of a shekel. I am simply looking to replace the parts which I no longer have (lost, given out to students/colleagues and not returned, etc.) and the parts, which, appear to be out of print, and not coming back INTO print anytime soon. Should you search and yield different results, please send me a message with a link so that I can go through proper channels to secure these parts.


Many thanks for any help!!

Happy Holidays from the land of sichou (丝绸) and dami (大米)...

The names of the Danish composers Holmboe and Koppel caught my attention, and even if I don’t play any of these pieces, I kind of related with you about the acquisition problem.

The Edition Wilhelm Hansen used to have a huge street store in Copenhagen, where I trafficked a lot while I lived in Copenhagen and also when I visited the town later on. That store had a huge selection of whatever printed music, but it was infamous for bad customer service. You had to know on which shelf a certain print was placed, if you wanted to buy it. Maybe 25 years ago that shop closed, and a related one opened away from the business district. As the more serious edition Engstrøm & Sødring closed their shop a few years ago, the said successor to WH was the only shop for printed music in Copenhagen. And it closed in 2009.

However I knew about the edition part of WH having an office elsewhere in Copenhagen, so I phoned them.

They have gone modern insofar that they don’t stock their editions. They print them on demand. That means you can order this music from this site:

http://webshop.ewh.dk/

If the page comes up in Danish, there is a UK flag up left. Anyway: it goes for both pieces that they cannot be bought directly from the web shop. You have to ask specifically at

The Holmboe is available at least in solo part, in full score, and in piano reduction (I didn’t ask about the orchestral parts).
