Antique Music

[ralessi]

I have a few old old scores and was wondering if anyone knew where I can get any information on them.  I have a few czerny and hannon books from around 1900 which I am not so worried about.  More intestingly, I do have a copy of Chopin preludes revised by Joseffy, Copyright 1915.  Also the Shulz-Evler Blue Danube waltz copyright 1906 which is still in surprisingly good condition.  There is also Chopin ballades and impromptus edited by Carl Mikuli copyright 1894.  My favorite and the most interesting of all, I had gotten a book from my grandmother with no covers and just a copyright of 1890 by the John Church Co. edited by J.O.v. Prochazka.  my book starts with the first piece and ends with the last.  No indexes or anything.  I had the music librarian at my university look it up and i found that it was the Paderewski concert album, a compilation of his favorite concert pieces as performed by him.  to my knowledge (and the librarians) it is 1 of the only 4 known to be existing.  Any feedback from any of you would be wonderful. Thank you again.

Cheers!
