this isn't available on IMSLP, I couldve sworn I had the file for Piano II, but can't find it anywhere. Anyone out there have the piano II part they can share with me (so i can reunite these files)? sorry, i don't know if i just mislabled and they're 'lost' in among the hundreds in my archives or if i accidentally deleted, etc.

I'm way bummed about this, cause this is the original version (not the Daly version commonly available),

any help is appreciated

not original Gerwshin but Grainger's treatment of this music for solo concert performance is very effective





also, head's up on the 'forward' for "The Man I Love"  (PDF below), really good insight in the the background of the thematic material.
