Goddard Lieberson - Music for Advanced Children or Retarded Adults

[visitor]

Yes, that is the actual title of the work. Looking for leads on where I can purchase (i.e. used/vintage out of print ) volumes i and ii of this three volume fun set of pieces (19 in total). I have volume three, but the first two thirds of the set are a bit of a bugger to find (I may end up just doing ILL but if I can have my own original hard copies, I prefer that to add to my single 3rd vol in my collection).

Previn did a wonderful recording of these, which I listen to and highly recommend, they are such fun!!:


Volume One   -
Five Songs Without Mendelssohn:
Whistling Boy on Horseback
The Same Boy, Five Years Later , in Paris
My Neighbor Studies Voice
My Father Plays Pizzicato
An Aimless Walk in the Woods

Volume Two -
Six Technical Studies(Which Will Teach You Nothing)
Prelude
Melody for the Left Hand
Melody for the Right Hand
Minor Seconds

(I have this one);
Volume Three -
Eight Studies in Musicology(Which Will Teach You a Great Deal) -

They're in the Teo Macero collection of the NY public library, and from time to time on e-bay.

Other library leads on WorldCat.

thank you 
yes i am beginning to think ILL like i mentioned in the post is probably my best shot, too bad actually purchasing my own copies is proving to be so difficult, but at least  i am not empty handed, i do have part of  them, will keep looking, but thanks again.

anyone else with a lead on purchase?
