Thank you, kindly. If anyone out there has any info on the Graded Pieces Vols. 5, 6, and 7, it would be most helpful!

Sorry about the ePub format (Microsoft Edge will read it but trying to convert to PDF freezes the printer driver.)

....from the Tapper method.... as it is a lot of scanning, I will try to identify pieces that are unavailable elsewhere...

for starters...

Brassin, Louis - WoO - Impressions d'Automne

This appears to be one of three etudes in a set, though I cannot identify the number.

This piece by Krzyzanowski....I have not seen anywhere, nor on our works list!

Krzyzanowski, Ignacy- WoO - Theme and Variations (with Nocturne (Variation 6)

Krzyzanowski, Ignacy-WoO-Theme and Variations (with Nocturne (Variation 6).pdf

UPDATE: it has come to my attention that this piece is by an IVAN Krzyzanowski (Krizhanowsky) ...very easy to confuse these two! I had never heard of this composer until now.

[Jean-Séb]

You mean Иван Иванович Крыжановский, Ivan Ivanovič Kryžanovskij, Ivan Ivanovich Kryzhanovskii, Ivan Ivanovich Kryjanovsky, Ivan Ivanovich Kryzhanovsky, Ivan Kryzhanovski, Johann Kryjanowsky, Iwan Kryschanowskij, J. Kryzanowsky, Kryshanowsky !!!

Oh, wow, thank you very much! I had trouble even looking him up on IMSLP! ahhh...transliteration....

I was so excited to find a "new" score, but at least we have this nice edition. Enjoy the Brassin!
