I'm currently working on a cakewalk called 'Queen of the Blue Grass', published in 1899 and written by Lee B. Grabbe and Warren Beebe. I've been unable to locate a piano score from my usual sources so I've used my software to get the notes from the midi. Can anyone help?..many thanks..Steve.

Looks like this was published as a mandolin and guitar duet in "The Cadenza", September 1900, pp. 30-31. Seems to me that someone out there was collecting copies of The Cadenza...

The only piano scores I've been able to locate are via interlibrary loans.

Many thanks Marc, I'm OK working with the midi score (all 6 pages!), it's just a bit of a bind working out where all the repeats and key changes are....Steve.

Marc is correct about the piece appearing in "The Cadenza." As stated, it's for mandolin and guitar, but I'd be happy to forward a PDF if it helps.

Ah, heck. Reckon I'd might as well put them here for posterity.

Hi, many thanks for the score, I can now check it against my midi score for any errors.  It's a great two step and sounds good on banjo. My arrangement is almost ready to post, I just have to error check.....Steve.

Hi All..Thanks to the pdf posted by Gatcomb, I realized that the tune I was working on was completely different. Further delving has revealed that my tune is called The Bluegrass Queen by William B. Davies written in 1901. The similarity of the tiles caused the confusion as all I had to work on was a badly named midi and no score. It's still a good tune and should be posted in due course. Queen of the bluegrass now remains on my to do list.....Steve.
