I propose you a challenge. Could you help me in obtaining Leopold Mittmann's (avant-garde) Jazz works, please? As far as I know, he wrote 3 Jazz works: Jazz-Etüde (19??), Jazz-Konzert-Suite (1929) and Jazz-Babies (1946). In all honesty, I'm not very sure if any copy of his Jazz-Etüde has survived to this day, actually.

Rob - Thanks for posting this great Dixon set - these are not ridiculously difficult and a welcome addition to anyone's collection.

There is apparently another one called "Mammy Land" at the In Harmony online library - but despite being told about it's presence there I couldn't find it.

With regard to "my list" of difficult pieces - I need to give this some thought. Often it is just a few bars that stump me and which (when I play them) sound as if they do not really belong in the piece as a whole. I alsways assume when this happens that there must be some conventional notation shorthand which I am misreading or about which I'm simply ignorant. Of course there are some pieces that I do know exactly how they should sound, but which completely stump me anyway !!

Here are the Mary Lou Williams piano transcriptions:
Mary_Lou_Williams_-__Boogie_Woogie_Piano_Transcriptions.pdf

And here are 6 "originals"
6 Original Boogie Piano Solos - Mary Lou Williams.pdf

The Thomas Griselle is a good find. I have "2 American sketches" by him - but nothing else. (If you're interested). The 2 American sketches are courtesy of another member here on Pianophilia, though I haven't posted them up yet.

Regards,

Just from googling "Leopold Mittmann noten":

Concert Jazz Suite https://www.musikalienhandel.de/noten/k ... +40370.htm
Recorded recently as part of Gottlieb Wallfisch's series of recordings "20th Century Foxtrots" - try reaching out to the pianist.

This listing is from Musikverlag William Zimmermann Frankfurt am Main

Hi! I'm actually really interested in Griselle's 2 American Sketches. Might you share them, please? In return, I'll give you Griselle's Tomfoolery (1923) and Noodlin' (1923)

Not sure if you've found another copy already, but the SFSMA has the Nocturne (unfortunately not the March) from "Two American Sketches": https://www.sfsma.org/two-american-sketches/
