My great grandma was a music teacher, and wrote a lot of music of her own. As a guitarist, I've never learned how to read music properly, and would really like to hear how this sounds. It's from around 1908.

If I COULD record playing that, I would, but I can't, sorry.

It doesn't look incredibly hard, either, but the chord jumping might mess someone up if the tempo's incredibly fast (your lovely grandmother forgot to put the tempo down...). To really hear that, you should find a piano teacher in your area, maybe ask them to play it. Of course, if anyone here has a MIDI keyboard, that'd work... but, with the magic of the internet, who knows how long you're gonna have to wait.
:P
I would but i can't really read it. Get a better picture. Scan it.
Tried printing out the first sheet and only got the left hand corner. I can hear in my head (I'm nowhere near a musical instrument) perfectly well the section I can see, and I can't truthfully say it's very interesting. (Do I really want to know what a "Queen City Boy" is? Probably not.)

That's what I thought when I saw it.
The entire thing just looks like a bunch of chords mashed together in quarters with a few eighths...
