The Free Silver March by Pauline B. Story (1896)

Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/s... I thought my current study of Pauline Story was over, but then I stumbled into this surprise, a very early score of hers that was self-published in 1896 when she still resided in Cincinnati. It might be her first published piece, if not then certainly one of the earliest. She is known to have written over 40 songs and piano pieces, but this doesn't appear on any list I've seen. If you like 1890s marches as I do, this is a good one.

This is a reproduction of the original score. Corrections made at measure 31 (shifted first left-hand note from D to E); measure 39 (added natural to right-hand Bs) and measure 71 (shifted bottom note of first right-hand chord from A to B). Score #272 in my current series "Women Ragtime Composers" featuring interesting scores written by ragtime era women. All are posted on YouTube at this link:    / @compukats   #ragtimepiano #march
