griffinga Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I was at an auction a few weeks ago (way down back – could hardly see a thing) when the auctioneer announced the next lot as “concertina music”. I bought it (without being able to see it – rarely a good idea at auctions) and it turned out to be about 8 pounds of vintage sheet music (mostly polkas and waltzes) published in the early 40s. It’s labeled as being made for the concertina. Anyone looking for vintage sheet music - contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The ICA (International Concertina Association)will be very interested in this music. Might depend on what kind of "concertina" it's for. If it's for the English, that would be very interesting. If it's that many arrangements for anglo, it would be a find, indeed! But I suspect -- especially if it's mostly polkas and waltzes -- that it's arrangements for the Chemnitzer concertina. In that case, I don't know how interested the ICA would be, but concertina.net member Ted Kloba would likely be able to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the ICA would be interested in the music if it's arranged for English, Duet or - indeed Anglo (!). I've sent a PM.

Theodore Kloba Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Still scanning posts on the forums for mentions of my name or "chemnitzer"... What was the outcome of this? Was it Chemnitzer music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Libris Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hi Theodore, Yes, it was a collection of Chemnitzer music so, regrettably, not the kind of music we collect in the ICA library. Regards, Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
