Theodor Blumer Sextet op 92
Does anyone know where to find the piano score and parts of this magnificent sextet? IMSLP has the sextet op. 45 but op. 92 (also known as "Kammersinfonie" and originally published by Ries & Erler) seems to me untraceable.

Re: Theodor Blumer Sextet op 92
Not exactly an answer but according to Ries & Erler, they still rent this work, anyway... not sure about copies in e.g. libraries. Probably won't be scanned by any library for copyright reasons (composer died too recently, work was first published too recently (composed ca.1941?- which is also why IMSLP doesn't have it- only in rare cases where copyright hasn't been renewed (more or less and oversimplifying) or permission has been granted would we have a work that recent 
) but some libraries may have copies to read.

This is still under copyright for a long time, with Blumer (1888-1964) even not yet free under Canadia law.
Eric is correct, the only source is rental material from Ries & Erler, I am not aware of any copies in libraries, even his estate (in german: "Nachlass") in SLUB Dresden does not include this work. And Rental is not cheap, because the piece has an estimated performing time of 31 min. - about 500 euro/concert for an amateur ensemble, much more for professional ensembles.
As far as I know, Ries & Erler also does not yet offer a proper edition, only the wind parts are readable manuscript copies, the pianist has to play from a copy of the composers autograph!
