Composed by Erwin Schulhoff. Edited by Michael Kube. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Barenreiter Urtext. Performance score, anthology. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09559.

Erwin Schulhoff was a German-speaking composer who was born in Prague in 1894 and died in the Nazi concentration camp in Wülzburg (Bavaria) in 1942. In the 1920s he returned to his native Prague to teach at the local conservatory. His compositions, with their blend of traditional genres, jazz syncopations, dance rhythms and moderately expanded tonality, were fully attuned to the tenor of the times.
This edition contains five of Schulhoff’s piano cycles with a total of thirty-five jazz-inflected pieces ranging from the relatively easy “Esquisses de jazz” (1927) to the fairly demanding “Cinq tudes de jazz” (1926). This is the first Urtext edition of this music and draws on the original prints comparing them with the surviving handwritten sources. Errors have been corrected and distinctive traits of Schulhoff’s notation retained.

You can't go wrong with Barenreiter
Every sheet music of Barenreiter I have used has been hugely satisfying. One the actual pieces, Schulhoff is a lot fun to play if you are a classical pianist who also likes rhythmic jazzy stuff.
