Very cool! ¡Viva Italia! There are definitely more Italian composers from the 19th-C. than meets the eye/ear...

This may be an idea for a new thread, and excuse me if there exists one already, but...

Is there a public domain scan of Charles Wilkinson's "Well-Known Piano Solos, How To Play Them" ? Can anyone recommend a modern reprint that is not simply computer scanned and riddled with errors?

Perhaps, we can start a new thread of "Books on Piano Playing and other Reference Material."

some "loose leaves" I came across with the popular Die Marionetten piece - Eduard Rohde's Op. 36.

I have very recently posted to IMSLP my scans of four pieces from Bohm's Op. 327:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Salon-Komposition ... ohm,_Carl)
This single opus is a collection of 78 pieces, which - if they are of an average length of 5 pages (conservative estimate), and 3.5 minutes duration (some are longer) would constitute some 400 pages of music taking about 5 hours to perform. As such this must be one of the biggest piano opuses pre-Sorabji.

Alas, even with my four pieces, and the two that were already on IMSLP, that makes only six, and I have never seen any of the other 72 pieces, a list of which is on the IMSLP page. If anyone has any of them (possibly in Bohm albums published by Lengnick) and would like to post them to IMSLP - or anywhere else where they can be found - I should be most grateful. I suspect that the opus number was supplied by Bohm's publisher Simrock and kept open while he supplied works for it over a period of time (the catalogue shown on the back of another work lists these 78 pieces plus a series of blank numbers running to 100!).

Apart from the pieces which members of this forum have kindly added, I note that IMSLP has recently acquired an American Bohm album which, as well as other pieces I had not seen by him, contains one or two more of the Op. 327 set. Maybe my 5 hour Bohm performance marathon is taking a step closer!

I will see what I can do in this regard. I enjoy this type of music, as well as hearing you play it!

Here is one that I found in order to contribute to the quest for Bohm's Op. 327. This piece was recorded by Hans Kann, apparently, but I'm sure it's ready for another go!

Thanks, musiclife217 for the Bohm piece. This charming little piece sounds a lot more difficult than it realy is and is much fun.
