A specimen copy is a free copy that is sent by the publisher to different people such as teachers, reviewers, by courtesy or for evaluation, and which is not for sale and is marked accordingly.

Ich hätte es nicht besser ausdrücken können! (I assume that "naturlaut" is resident in Germany, so I gave the german terms for "specimen copy").

Nice to find something by Chasins besides his Chinese Pieces and this is an exquisite performance. Nice find, Alfor!

Lemuel Childers Sonatina in G Minor No2. Does anyone have bio information for him? Thanks.

Jim, thanks for all your recent files.
I found out a bit about Childers:-
Lemuel Jennings Childers was born in Pawhuska, Osage, Oklahoma, in 1898,
and was the composer of various American-Indian works such as "Hiawatha",
"Peace Pipe", "Warriors", "Laughing Water", and "Sand Dance", all for
symphony orchestra.
