But as this - for several reasons, which need not to be discussed - is not so with literally hundreds or thousands of interesting scores, I accept the "electronic score" as a complementary form of sheet music.
So sharing rare, deleted (piano) scores is one, if not the most important - or most wanted - feature of pianophilia.
It is useless to discuss the reasons why a lot of good music is buried in libraries - or only to find in antiquarian shops. - And when I say "good music" I mean music I would wish to be performed in public.
So I try to post scores, which are not only rare, but IMHO of a certain musical value.
Dear Alfor, I understand you very well now if you occasionally feel a lack of understanding, silence or indifference concerning your
"philantropic" activity. I can only write for myself but I am sure that this feeling is shared by a silent crowd:
What you do is a wonderful service for humanity, a true monument of generosity and charity.
When I discovered for the first time some of your posted files while hopping through different pages of PF, I stayed "scotched" to the screen for half a day without once standing up ! this was a kind of a "Gold fever". Unique action: you will be thanked by this and by the coming generations. THANKS.

Let's begin with a very fine example from the huge bulk of piano sonatas by soviet composers:
Yuri EGIKOV
Egikov Sonata No.2.pdf
I leave it to my dear follow pianophilians to describe form and contents of this score!
P.S. all posted scores are my own scans.
