+1 Nice!
Are these the same scores in this link?

It also looks like they're in a college library near me, so I'll definitely go check that out. It's funny I keep forgetting that there's an amazing college music library I can check out scores—my alma mater no less.

Felix Wolfes was a new name to me. At first I thought you meant Felix Wolfe's Lieder and couldn't find the dude at wikipedia!
For anyone who has never browsed the first edition of the Ives Piano Sonata no. 2 "Concord" :
http://ks.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usim ... ta1921.pdf
Taken in toto, it is an amazing 70 pages of idiosyncratic notation, especially given when it was written, with a cameo appearance by a flutist at the end (and also a violist in the middle in the 2nd edition).

Thanks! They are quite sublime, really. Highly intricate, and the writing is exquisite, IMHO.cGilmore wrote:@DatOrganistTho

It looks like Stanton's has a few copies! That link you provided is good. Like I said, it is now out of print, but some other book sellers might have copies left of it. Definitely check them out! There are 3 major styles observed over the several volumes of Wolfes. Definitely look at them all and see how nice they all are!
I love music libraries like that.

I'm looking at them now. I definitely want to get my own copies! They're really well done. Also, there are some INTENSE slurs in a few of these!DatOrganistTho wrote: I love music libraries like that.

Re: Am I the Only One? Let's Hear It!
They are FABULOUS. I love studying them, and the decisions that engravers made - it's no wonder that general quality of computer generated music is so low! True plate engravers had to know every detail before they even breathed on the metal. Really astonishing.cGilmore wrote:I'm looking at them now. I definitely want to get my own copies!

Did you get all of them? I don't have all of them, but I'd love to hear any comments of your impressions on the other engraving styles. I love them!

I haven't purchased them yet. I just spent some time in the library looking through them. I'll definitely let you know when I get my own.
