Hi all,
I'm searching for 2 Gottschalk-works, maybe one of you has got one or both of them as pdf? Both of them are in the New York Public Library, but I dislike very much to ask libraries or their curators.

(Locked case)_______________
Both of them aren't on IMSLP and not on
https://www.gottschalk.fr/index.php/en/gottschalk-s-eng/partitions-s-eng . (Pls note it's not the "exercises journaliers").
Background for those who might be interested: As far as my research went, the NYPL holds very interesting documents about Gottschalk, for example the Starr-papers, and a collection formerly known as the "Rhome-Collection", until it was assimilated / integrated in the NYPL-Gottschalk-"area". This Rhome-Collection under difficulties (Offergeld at first wasn't allowed to get access to the collection when it was still property of Otto Rhome, a descendant-relative of Gottschalk) made its way into the NYPL, as I said, and perhaps the "exercises, passages, and arpeggios", a kind of "piano-school", collaborative by Moreau and his friend Espadero, were / are part of it?
(
Addition: Ah, I remember: maybe not. It ( the "ejercicios..." ) seems to belong to another collection of 23 items the NYPL once bought, too, as I re-read in the introduction of the "Little book of L.M. Gottschalk: Seven previously unpublished piano pieces", which I have in printed form, copy of the complete facsimile.
But the origins and provenance of the mentioned 23-items-collection, of which the "ejercicios.." were part, both stay a little obscure, the editors of the "Little Book" ( Jackson, Ratcliff, preface: G. Chase) only knew that Espadero and one of his - again (!!) - unknown relatives, and a man named "Rene Guin y Toussaint", who is "obscure", too, were involved. On the other hand, the case of the "Rhome-Collection" I mentioned earlier was discussed by Starr in "Bamboula!", which I have. But it isn't too important to which collection it finally belongs or had belonged. I only wanted to make the difficult circumstances perhaps a bit clearer.
It's sometimes very difficult to track or understand the diffuse and obscure ways of Gottschalk - stuff, I think! But exciting, fascinating, compelling, too, I think!
End of addition.____
However:
Has anybody perhaps come across one of the 2 above mentioned works? A pdf would be marvellous! OR: Does anybody know who exactly was the arranger of the 4hd andalusie?
But I won't ask the library. If this thread is without success, I will let the two works rest in peace, and not further try to touch them.
Very cordially, 8_octaves!
