for the library did allow me to borrow, not just photocopy, the whole Reissiger score- it turns out that the staff card that I now have lets me borrow items offsite. Hee. I'd wondered for years since getting the job if I was eligible for a card, then got the card a few months ago, then waited to use it until now; borrowed the Reissiger trio and a volume of three string trios by Haydn's student Ignaz Pleyel (of whom Mozart said, it would be a good day for music, were Pleyel to succeed Joseph Haydn- slight paraphrase, I don't have a reference to the exact thing). Neither of them, apparently, copyrighted. Glee.
For now... rest. Was going to get some meds I need and some exercise, but I am rather sleepy. Then later, will continue transcribing at least the more interesting movements of the Reissiger for practice (I'm not convinced that the slow movement qualifies, but the Allegro risoluto, with its opening theme anti-reminiscent... erm, I mean, which Brahms seems to quote with the main theme of the finale of his 2nd string quartet- has its points.
The English Wikipedia doesn't have an article on Reissiger right now, or last I checked, though the German-language one does- but if someone does start one, I might upload the first page of the trio, or the second, to show what this sometimes-intersting composer, most famous in the 19th century for a piece that became known as "Weber's Last Waltz" and misattributed to Carl Maria von Weber... (!!)...-- was capable of. (Not at all famous now, no- though a few works of his are recorded, and a few have been recently republished, including some sonatas for winds, a mass, and etc., etc. - so it didn't go without saying that the piece I borrowed hadn't been published since it was first in the 1840s, I just don't know of any more recent publication, and I am usually fairly well-informed about those things- but will double-check in sources I've learned about more recently.)
Eric (edit: and indeed, a somewhat later piano trio of his, his opus 181 - this is trio 11 opus 125 - received modern republication in 2000, from Amadeus-Verlag in Winterthur, Switzerland, which has published quite a few composers on my personal lists.)
