Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for this scan. Do you have by chance the FS of that piece, or any idea how to get it?

Regards

Hi alegitor

No, I don't have a full score - this was published by Lawrence Wright which is now owned by Faber....can only suggest you contact them about a full score.

Malcolm

And a little something to add some bounce to the weekend - Derek New's, Cross Hands Boogie.

HI Frank,

I might be able to save you some time scanning Lothar Perl. If you have any others I'd love to get a copy.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting the Lothar Perl scores...that certainly did save me quite a bit of scanning work! However, we need to move these postings to the appropriate thread entitled "School Of Syncopation - Jazz, Stride & Rag" **Note to Moderators Malc, Fred or Rob....could you please move these to the appropriate thread on our behalf? Thanks I will scan and post my other Lothar Perl material (including the unpublished manuscripts) under the same thread. I am very pleased to have Perl's works more widely distributed.

Thanks & all best,
Frank

I know several folks have posted Billy Mayerl scores. Can anyone help me find a copy of his "100 Syncopated Breaks"?

Thanks
Bill

Hi, everybody
Thanks for posting all these incredible scans. It's great to see all these gems saved. I'm just sorry that I don't have anything much (well, at all) to share. I noticed that Luigi recently edited his posts and took down all his uploads. Would someone be willing to replace the rags "Darkly in The Woodpile", "Recreation Rag", and any other uploads of his they have?
Thanks,
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
yes, I took down all my uploads, as you noticed. If I did so, there was a reason.
Instead of asking other members here to repost those things I had prefererred to remove, why don't you start to contribute yourself to this forum with some sheet music or recordings or some interesting information about syncopated music?
I think there are too many members who didn't contribute at all and are here just to download stuff. This doesn't help the forum of course.
I had contributed to the School of Syncopation forum with some sheet music and recordings I have because I felt I had to do that in respect of Frank Himpsl's great generosity (I cannot thank him enough!) in sharing his precious transcriptions and rare scores from his great collection.
Not to mention the precious time he dedicated to keep the discussion alive, with his precious and very knowledgeable information about this music.
And I would like to thank Benjamin Intartaglia, Quercus (Bill), Fredric Dannen and all the other very few people who did contribute and are still keeping this forum about sycnopated music alive.
Unfortunately only these few (very few) people joined the discussion also contributing with pieces of their collections.
Considering that, and the fact that I had noticed that a couple of old acquaintances of mine (big collectors that had denied to help me in the past) had recently entered Pianophilia and of course didn't partecipate at all to the discussion (and let alone they didn't even cosidered about sharing some music with the rest of the forum), I decided to remove my stuff.
I still read the messages in here and when I find requests from members who had contributed with their own material, I try to help them privately.
Given that I cannot ask anybody here not to repost my stuff, I think that such a public request from your side, completely disrespectful of my wish since I didn't remove my attachment as a mistake, is indicative of a bad attitude rather common in here.
Sorry for the polemical but necessary comment.
Luigi

Luigi,

I think you're being a bit harsh on Curtis since he has only just joined PP and this was his first post.

There always will be more downloaders than uploaders on PP, that has always been the case. But in this thread the number of people with appropriate scores to upload is very small and in Frank's case, for example, they are often his own work. So requesting that downloaders upload scores first is not really practical, and in any case runs contrary to PP policy in that no upload / download quota is required nor expected. Many members here do not have extensive sheet music collections (especially in this genre) and cannot contribute no matter whether they wanted to or not.

However, having said that, I would naturally be very disappointed if there were people here who took advantage of the scores in this and other threads and, having appropriate scores of their own which they could upload, nonetheless did not do so. That runs very much contrary to the spirit of PP.

PP exists to share rare and otherwise unobtainable scores. The more people contribute, the better off we all are in that respect. Just ask Malc and Alfred

Regards
Fred
