For all "Winifred Atwell" fans...
Here are five of her sheet music more (fresh scannned
At first are four scores of her wonderful and famous arrangements and.. at last the original piano solo version
of "The Poor People Of Paris" composed by "Marguerite Monnot" and featured by "Winifred Atwell".
I'm not sure "The Poor People Of Paris" arranged & as played Winifred Atwell ever was published as sheet music (?)
Hope all "Winnie" fans will enjoy this music scores.
Best RAGards,
Martin

Does this answer the above question, posed 7 years ago?

Does anyone happen to have the rag folios of Robin Frost, and might be willing to share? It is my impression that they are out of print, and that no claim on copyright is likely to be made. And, as with so much, it would be a shame to lose them altogether.

The Robin Frost scores MAY still be in print. The late John Roache used to sell Robin Frost's PDFs and recordings. The website is still up, but it looks pretty dated - I would start with an inquiry before trying to pay. I did successfully order CDs from the site back in 2010.

Also, Robin Frost is only just recently deceased, so I suspect the copyright is still in effect. Here is his 2020 obituary:

All of that being said, if you're still having trouble getting your hands on the score, message me directly and I'll try to help.

Most of them are extremely difficult (though fun to dabble with). Some are said to have been written specifically for midi and/or player piano without the intention of being humanly playable.

Hello, everyone! I'm new, here! My name's Davide, from Italy; and I'm interested (or rather obsessed) in everything that's raggy, jazzy, bluesy or simply syncopated. Oh... Not mentioning I'm also a great fan and connoisseur of avant-garde music. In all honesty, I still can't believe I found such a gold mine in this little corner of the Internet.

I kindly ask you if you can help getting a copy of the following rags:

· A Night On The Levee (1897) — Theo. H. Northrup
· On The Bayou (1898) — Theo. H. Northrup
· A Bunch Of Rags (1898) — Robert S. Roberts

In return, I'll be extremely happy to share with you all the following documents:

Ben Harney's Rag-Time Instructor (1897) — it includes T. H. Northrup's rag Plantation Echoes.

· Colorado Blues (1915) — E. L. Bowman
· Rosary Blues (1916) — E. L. Bowman
· Shamrock Rag (1916) — E. L. Bowman
· Water Lily's Dream (1922) — E. L. Bowman

In return, I'll be extremely happy to share with you all the following documents:

Just a note that on this forum we don't generally offer music contingent on someone else providing something in return. As you can see from thousands of contributions, we "pay it forward" by supplying music freely.
