Thanks again! Ragtime scholar and performer Dave Jasen published a folio, 100 Authentic Rags, in 1979, which contains many late rags in addition to the usual suspects. It was later republished in two volumes of 50 Authentic Rags each, with some changes among the classic rags, but none that involve Zurke or Bloom. Jasen’s folio has four Zurke pieces and three by Bloom, one of which is Southern Charms. This is the only folio I’ve found that has any selection of late ragtime beyond Confrey, and I was introduced to both composers through this folio. In addition, I like the web site Piano Rare Scores, which has scores by both Bloom and Zurke as well as dozens more just in jazz/ragtime, not to mention classical works. Russian scores are especially well represented there. And finally, eBay has lots of this kind of sheet music.
