| [19] | M | Pencil notes very large, only 31/2m on Ip; bass staves mostly empty |
| C | A footnote to "Moderate" explains that it means "As fast as possible"(!). 20 The Moonlight Forest [and miscellaneous fragments for piano] Andantino con expressive | |
| D | ca 1911-12. Said by HC (via SRC's note laid in) to be among his earliest fragments. | |
| M | Pencil sketch. It leaves the forest after 14m, passing on to a Song, | |
| a | Larghetto ma non troppe, an Allegro, and a Scherzo that crosses onto the verso below a 24m "home song" sort of tune. | |
| 21 | The Rag Waltz [for piano] Allegro | |
| D | ca 1911-12. Sketched on the verso of no. 19, probably much later. "Mrs. Viblin" [recteVeblen] at upper left. | |
| M | Pencil sketch. Syncopation in the right hand over "umpahpah" in the left paled in HC's imagination after 6m, giving way to a wordless "Song (Lightly)" even shorter; on Ip. | |
| 22 | Ghoul's Gallop [for piano] Allegretto | |
| D | Jan-Jun 1912? The verso contains an Etude-Chimes (no. 82/1) dated by HC as Dec 1913, but one supposes that this page with its nota- tional peculiarities is earlier, possibly even before 1912. | |
| M | Pencil draft of 114m, counting repeated and silent measures. Prac- tice noteheads adorn the bottom of the page, with the remark "This is nothing!" | |
| C | Many rests, static repetitions, and silent measures might argue the presence of another instrument; but there is no other hint of any, and such breaks are natural in music meant to accompany children's games and dances. The first 40m consist of 79 repetitions of 2 staccato 8th notes on the strong beat followed by a quarter note, a reversal of the conventional galloping-horse imitation. It may be, however, charac- teristic of galloping ghouls. | |
| 23 | [Lento in E major for piano] | |
| D | Jan-Jun 1912? A tear mars what was apparently a dedication "To Mrs. Livingston." A more regular spacing of the notes suggests af- | |
