MuseScore Studio, to use its new name, is a free music notation software.  It can also create audio files from that sheet music.  When version 4 was released the developers also made available a set of high quality sound libraries called MuseSounds (sets available for strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, harp, choir, etc.). These can be downloaded through a type of front-end app called MuseHub.  When you download the application that gets installed with it.  You can get the app from www.musescore.org. There is a separate www.musescore.com page that is for sharing scores and has paid services but the software and support on the .org is all free.

I believe the option should be under the file menu and then select export.  See if Musicxml is available there.

Can Score Writer produce MusicXML files? If so, and if you can get the file to me, I'll be happy to render it in MuseScore 4.5 using MuseSounds (which is a huge improvement over the sounds available in version MuseScore 3.x).

After tinkering with it on and off for ten years I have finally finished typesetting Reinhold's Praeludium, Menuett und Fuge, Op.10 for string orchestra.  The results can be heard at Musescore.  Nothing earth-shattering here but I think it's an enjoyable 13 minutes of music.

Now on Youtube: Praeludium, Menuett, Fuge.

Here it is: Tonkünstler- und Verleger-Almanach der Musikliterarischen Blätter pp.72-74.

Here is the article on Jentsch from Deutsche Tonkünstler und Musiker in Wort und Bild if that is the article you are seeking: pages 320-321.

The manuscript you link to purports to be Chausson's holograph (signed on the last page). Higher resolution images can be found at the source: Library of Congress. The score was donated to the Library by Fritz Kreisler who had received it from Eugène Ysaÿe. Another manuscript of Op.25 can be found at the French National Library.

No.9 is a selection from the ballet Coppélia by Léo Delibes.  The big tune starts around 4:30.

The Lewenthal LP can be heard on the Internet Archive.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I have uploaded corrected files to IMSLP.

1942 Zeitschrift für Musik reports the performance of Franke's Symphony No.4 in E-flat major (or E major as they reported in the second blurb) "Frühling im Tal der Müglitz" on Jan. 12, 1942 in Teplitz-Schönau by the Städtische Orchester under Bruno C. Schestak. First mention (Jan. 1942), second mention (Feb. 1942).

Small (or Little)Suite for String Orchestra (op. 863) on that South Bohemian Chamber Orchestra CD.  Now the only "Little Suite" I know is the  Carl Nielsen....

My post (#95) in this thread had a link to the publisher's website and noted that several of Franke's scores are available there as perusal pdfs including Kleine Suite für Streichorchester Op.863.

Wanted to add two notes.  The website for Edition49 has a few perusal scores of Franke's scores published by Vogt & Fritz.  Search for Hans Franke. The scores available are the Quartetto eufonico per quattro sonatori Op.841, Kleine Suite für Streichorchester Op.863, and Drei konzertante Stücke.  I also note that among his Drei Lieder is Der Spielmann Op.261 for voice, violin, and piano.  Eugen Hildach (1849-1924) published a song for voice and piano also entitled Der Spielmann as his Op.15 No.1 in 1893.  In 1931 a version was published by Heinrichshofen's Verlag that included a violin solo.

Interestingly, https://hans-franke.de/ claims he attended the Leipzig Conservatory but the Das Königliche Konservatorium der Musik zu Leipzig 1893-1918 which lists all the students who attended during those years does not list a Hans Franke. His bio claims he studied piano and composition under Carl Reinecke. Reinecke retired from the Conservatory in 1902 so Franke's attendance at the conservatory would have to have fallen within the period the book covers.

The links to the Stöhr collection at St. Michael's College and the pdf inventory don't seem to be working.  The pdf can be accessed via the Internet Archive here.  It appears they have a number of the symphonies in full score.  The Austrian National Library also has about 150 manuscript scores by Stöhr.
