Great piece - I found it on the internet as well and ended up playing it at a recital.
I believe I found the piece on a site that is now down, but you can try https://pianofiles.com/ or https://zimerfan.mylinea.com/scores/

The only recording of this piece by a master I have found is by Garrick Ohlsen (which I am not fond of).
