Re: School of Syncopation - Jazz, Stride, Novelties & the Like
Thank you all very much for contributing to this realm of rare pieces that were posted here but were not found by anyone for a long time. Let me introduce myself.
I am Mitchell, I am 17 years old and love ragtime music just like everybody in this discussion does. I am also a ragtime composer, too. I came on this website and had found that Frank Himpsl had passed away in 2021. I should have contacted him and said how he was doing.
In his memory he left for all of us, sharing pieces that never have been found or performed by anyone recently, I wish to contribute and do my part here on this website as well. He was the greatest person that ever contributed to sharing music from his collection as well as playing the music.
Frank Himpsl will be remembered, and I give my condolences.
I share with you all 2 pieces, one of which is the rarest first edition of Jinx Rag by the great Lucian Porter Gibson.
I thank you very and sincerely much,
Mitchell Lee.

Random Rag/Novelty/Blues Batch #2!
Rags
A rag published in Italy (I have yet to research on E. Caroiso)
(Slow Drags are my favorite pieces in the ragtime genre; Like this one!)
( A ragtime song by Robert Hampton: Does that name sound familiar?)
My all time favorite Irving Berlin song (And its a instrumental version published in France in 1911 and the copyright was renewed in 1913!)
Novelties
(On the cover it mentions other novelties, are they made by Henry Ross or maybe other composers? Let me know!)
(a novelty solo published in England)
Thats all for now!

Rag Batch #3 (3 already? wow!)
This time I'm uploading scores by (Spanish or Portuguese?
) composer Eduardo Souto
Fox-trots (Or "Ballad Of The Nymphs")
(Or "It has to be?")
Google translates "Estao Verdes" as They Are green? I blame google on their part
More will be on the way!

Normally the cover of Jinx Rag is blue (is it a problem with the scanners people use or is it due to low light?)FoxeyFeet1919 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2026 1:30 am Jinx Rag (Lucian Porter Gibson and Jesse Dukes, the rare and published first edition).pdfKeepYourDaddyHome-PorterGraingerBobRickettsErnestPaisley.pdf

The cover art was quite different from the Stark published version. I believe it was either supposed to be white or blue.rsamoyedny19 wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:52 pmNormally the cover of Jinx Rag is blue (is it a problem with the scanners people use or is it due to low light?)FoxeyFeet1919 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2026 1:30 am Jinx Rag (Lucian Porter Gibson and Jesse Dukes, the rare and published first edition).pdfKeepYourDaddyHome-PorterGraingerBobRickettsErnestPaisley.pdf

To answer your question, I probably believe it was due to the problem of the scanner.rsamoyedny19 wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:52 pmNormally the cover of Jinx Rag is blue (is it a problem with the scanners people use or is it due to low light?)FoxeyFeet1919 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2026 1:30 am Jinx Rag (Lucian Porter Gibson and Jesse Dukes, the rare and published first edition).pdfKeepYourDaddyHome-PorterGraingerBobRickettsErnestPaisley.pdf

Re: School of Syncopation - Jazz, Stride, Novelties & the Like
Hello again. I happened to realize that no one also put a lot of Willard Robison music on this thread or shared any audio or sheet music. The attached mp3 I have is of Willard Robison playing his Up And Down In China, which was recorded in 1924. It is very different from the 1926 version that was published in his folio. I got that recording from Vincent Johnson.
Another rare attachment I have, as well as Jubilee is Eight Ball. No one, not even Robison himself, recorded it, except Bob Wright. Those scores came from RagtimeDorianHenry.
I hope this finds you all well.
