Hello,
Does anybody happen to have a copy of Lou Singer's lovely arrangement of Eric Coates' "By a Sleepy Lagoon"?
I believe that it appeared in "Chappell's Famous Melodies for Piano Solo".
Performed here by the indefatigable Phillip Sear:
Cheers!

You can email Philip for the music (as others in the comments section have done).
It's also available here: https://www.oktav.com/en-gb/d/797175e0 and on some other inexpensive music sales sites
Another jazzier version of Liebestraum, a stride rendition by Korean pianist Heui Sung Kim aka "Acoustic Ballad" :

The famous tune "My Grandfather's Clock" by Henry Clay Work (1832-1884 USA) is here treated to a slightly OTT fantasia by the English-born pianist, conductor, composer and impresario William Luscombe Searelle (1853-1907)
Luscombe Searelle (sometimes Searell) was brought up in New Zealand, wrote and staged several successful operas in Australia and known to a Melbourne critic as "a sworn foe of dullness and a warm friend of variety”.
I found this in the National Library of Australia online collection, and include both my cleaned up version of the scan
HENRY CLAY WORK My Grandfather's Clock [Searelle] (bw).pdf
and re-engraving to clarify the frequently over-crammed notes on the page which approach player-piano density in the later marcato passages.

Hi all
Bit of an unconventional question,
does anybody have HL' S Jazz Piano Solo Series digitalized. HL unfortunately does not have the option to
purchase PDFs.
Thank you for a feedback.
