Linus.....
Wow, here's one where I can really add some information.
I worked with my teacher on a solo titled "Roaming River" by this composer. This particular solo was published by BOURNE, Inc. of New York City, and bears a copyright date of 1952. I believe the level of difficulty to be NYSSMA Grade 3 or 4.
I was also told that Maurice C. Whitney was a native of the Glens Falls area of New York State.
