Austrian Composers

[Scriabinoff]

I have a question about a Schubert score. I was at a used book shop I frequent over the weekend. I found an 'old' book, hard cover (looks like it was re-bound but the repair itself looks old as well). Pages are very aged, i..e look like many antique scores I have based on coloration, 'feel'.

I can't find a publication year for this, I do know it is Cotta . I know is that it is Nr 75 if the Liszt edited Schubert Fantaiesies , an edition for students. I was able to find this reference to them (pic/screen shot attached).

I know Cotta is an old name /publisher with records back to 1690, I also read that lots of their plates and records were destroyed in the war bombings (Stuttgart Germany I believe).

I looked on Sibley, and IMSLP, and other various google-ing, and can not find scans of this edition. Is it worth it to go ahead and scan it and post it here? I just don't want to scan soemthing that is already available elewhere easily, but also would love to be able to learn more about this, specifically its age (there is a stamp on the inside cover, looks like from an antique book dealer in German).

I won't be able to scan it until Friday if it is suggested I will go ahead and do it.

Thanks so much for the guidance (and apologies if it's not the place to post, just watned to make sure before I scan and post what's most appropriate).

hello again, so I am pasting a link to the my scan of the book I mentioned i couple posts up. I don't know a lot about it other than the cover image shows an 1896 date and the copyright on one of the score pages shows 1892. The previous owner was apparently in Vienna ciraca 1958? Again this was repaired/rebound but by the looks of the hard cover on my end (which is in very good shape) it still appears to have been done quite some time ago. I have looked around and just can't find a whole lot about this "Cotta" edition with Franz Liszt's editing. Thanks so much for looking at this and I appreciate any information that can help me (and hopefully others who download the score) more about this.

also I do not have and adobe suite of my own yet so I was not able to 'trim' this down but I did use the lower power/resolution setting on the scanner since the pages although aged (color) still have very clear and easy to read typeset/notes

Schubert Nr 75 Ed Cotta
147 pages (I deleted extra 'blank' pages in the book i.e. couple of inside cover blanks)

Hummel is described as an Austrian composer in Grove, so I'm putting this query about him here. He was born in Pressburg, now Bratislava, so he was born in modern-day Slovakia.
IMSLP has quite a lot of his music, including an E flat major Sonata for piano, 4 hands. Grove also lists an A flat major sonata, and a Nocturne for piano 4 hands. Does anyone know where I can get hold of either of these pieces? Your suggestions would be very welcome, thanks.

IMSLP has the three pieces you mentioned above:

Here's a scan of Hugo Reinhold's Impromptu Op28 No2. No3 has already been posted here and is available elsewhere. I've never run across No1--does anyone have a copy that they could share? Thanks.
