Hello,
I am cleaning out my music collection (sheet music, that is) and found pages 35 through 94 of a book published by Carl Fischer and edited by Maxwell Eckstein in the 1940s. The pieces contained in those pages include "Gipsy Dance" by Heinrich Lichner (p 58), "Marche Militaire" by Franz Schubert (p 54), and Chaconne by Auguste Durand p. 78. Other pieces include The Spinning Song by Ellmenreich, L'Avalanche by Heller, "The Music Box" by Poldini, "The Wild Horseman by Schumann" and a few others. I remember playing all of these pieces when I was A LOT younger, and would like to use them with some of my students. A not-so-quick Google search turned up 2 possibilites; One is "My Favorite Solo Album" (still published by Fischer) and the other is "Piano Pieces for Children". The trouble is, neither one of these books contain all of the pieces that I mentioned above. For example, My Favorite Solo Album seems to be missing "Gipsy Dance", "Marche Militaire" and Chaconne". Does anyone happen to know
1) What the original title of this book was
2) Whether there exists a newer version that contains the same pieces as the original
I would like to purchase a new one since the one I possess is very, very fragile. At the very least, perhaps I can scare up an intact version of the old book on e-bay and use it for reference. Many of the pieces are in other books, but I like this collection. Thanks.
