It is in a few libraries. Check the above Worldcat list.

Published by Universal Edition, but not in current catalogue.

 mighty thal!
 great link, this one.

 btw, i received an answer from UE just today, and they can provide a brand new copy for me for € 49,-. quite a lot, but way less than a trip to the US...rofl...

 anyway, if i can get it by now, it's priceless.
 thanks again for your attention, bud.
 best!

49 is not too bad for out of print work or unpublished work.

Me had to pay 100 for De Greef Concerto and 200 for Bowen concerti.

Its madness.

It's a fine sonata. I've performed it once, a few years ago.

 dear thal:
 €200? ouch... my 50 are not that much, then.

 *******************

 dear richard:
 i did never see the score, although i listened to it a thousand times. excuse me for the question, but how hard it is? i mean, i don't want an ABRSM grade...hehehe... but to what standard pieces do you compare it?
 thanks for any comment!

 best wishes for you guys!

Not that tricky. I suppose if you can play most of the Beethoven middle-period sonatas without busting your guts you shouldn't have too much trouble with it.

i did never listen to hamelin playing his works, but i'll surely look for that. btw, cipressi is probably my favorite work by him.
 best!
