Interested in all Zez Confrey sheet music

[iratehamster]

If anyone has any pieces written by Zez Confrey that they're able/willing to share, I'd be very grateful.  My thanks in advance!

Good morning iratehamster,

While I don't have any Zez Confrey in sheet music form, I do have some of his piano rolls. That fact doesn't help you much, but if you are interested in Confrey, you should look at Terry Smythe's piano roll to MIDI resource at:

Please don't take the resulting earbashing sounds as anything resembling what the pianola can do musically (I'll be posting examples of what it CAN do in due course), but if you can transfer MIDI to sheet music, and do the necessary editing to get rid of all the nasty 128th notes, you will have a virtually limitless supply of the styles of music you are probably seeking. You would need to check with Terry if you want to use the resource for commercial purposes, but in my view, some of the arrangements ought at least to be resurrected and played again by pianists.

In the 1980s, my ex-wife and I had two cats called Zez and Confrey. Confrey used to lick my ear, and Zez had a great bushy tail. They were both smoky grey. Happy days!

Is that Thalbergmad's confrey file still available somewhere ;-)?

I managed to get my hands on some second hand confrey sheets, but i am still missing quite a few.

Thanks in advance!
