I'm looking for a really, really hard piece to find. Even a reference to it's existence was found just yesterday (see pics): it's "Jet d'eau by Martin Frey.

I'm assuming you mean Emil Frey (1889-1946)

Luisa Splett is researching and recording his works. She may be able to help: https://www.luisasplett.ch/en/musikforscherin
I sent Luisa Splett a message last week (via Facebook) but got no reply until this day.
Meanwhile I found that "Jet d'eau" is "Springbrunnen", number 4 from "Vier Klavierstücke, Op.14".
IMSLP has only the first 3 pieces. So does MusicaNEO and (I believe) the infamous Piano Rare Scores.

Any help?

Hi Pianoman

Complete copy of Op 14 by Frey is held by Berlin State Library, if no one has a complete copy to share (need to check their on-line index card catalogue). or approach Ries & Erler who published the score - they were very helpful when I wanted one of their old publications some years back.

Malcolm,

Just had a reply from SBzB: 41 euros for the "Springbrunnen" only. It's too much money... I asked if that amount was for the no.4 only for sure. Waiting for a new reply.

That would seem to be right for the whole work - so hopefully a smaller price for No. 4 (10 euros ?). Otherwise try Ries & Erler. I'm missing No. 4 myself so would welcome a copy if you are successful.

Just got the confirmation: it's for no.4 only.
No way... it's too much money.

Agree Pianoman - that's is quite expensive for one piece. Suggest try the publisher, as hopefully somewhat cheaper.
