Dewar, I was one of the founders of the Quincy Village Music Library
that maintains about 20,000 pieces of vintage sheet music from the turn
of the century through the 1950's.  I am also one of the librarians.

The purpose of the library is to make out-of-print sheet music available
to our community resident musicians.  All sheet music is listed in
alphabetical order in a data base.

I looked up "Horen Sie Zu" hoping to find the music for you.  I did
not find it as requested, but I wonder what the translation is, because
maybe we have it listed in English.  Our data base said "Hours with you?"
or "Hours that were".  We do have that title dated 1913.

Send me an accurate translation to the title and I will try again.

Regards,
Al Good
Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
