Hard to Find sheet music

[nmitchell076]

I was wondering if anyone knew where to find certain cool pieces that aren't played much, and aren't sold in many stores.  For example,  I heard Vlastimil Lejsek's Brazilian Dances and his Moon Suite,  but I can't for the life of me find the music anywhere online (and I've spent days searching)

Other stuff includes quirky stuff like Henry Cowell (ESPECIALLY the Banshee and Dynamic Motion), and maybe stuff like the Horrowitz transcriptions of pieces (though I haven't really attempted to search for them) or compositions by Glenn Gould.

Anyone know of where I could find any of this stuff (or other like compositions), I am ESPECIALLY interested in the Lejsek and Cowell stuff.

Your one-stop shop for Horowitz transcriptions. I don't think it's completely exhaustive, but all the most famous ones are there.

[edit] Henry Cowell's music may not yet be in the public domain.

A great forum, home to many dedicated scanners of music hardly found otherwise. I've searched high and low for certain scores only to find all that time they'd been scanned and uploaded by someone on Pianophilia. Check it out.

Thanks for the quick responses!!

As for Henry Cowell's music (and for that matter, Lejsek's) I know that stuff is probably not going to be in the public domain, so I don't necessarily need a free copy of it, I'm willing to purchase it if its in print by any publisher.

Thats the thing, is that I can't find any sort of publishers that have the rights to any sort of obscure 20th century composer.  I mean, the only thing I've found by Lejsek was a publisher named "V i V o - BRNO", which is Czech, but I can't find a publisher's website to order the music directly from them, or anything like that.

The best places I find sheet music are:
imslp.org (has A LOT of the more common pieces, but you can sometimes find something rare there)
scribd.com (I've found all kinds of things there, from hard-to-find transcriptions to pieces that are still under copyright actually)

Try J.W. Pepper's at <www.jwpepper.com>, they have several things of Henry Cowell listed.
