This publisher illustrates a common problem in internet sheet music retailing. For me to purchase a work, I (a) either have to have heard it performed before (unlikely), or (b) buy the music and quite possibly send it back if I don't like it.
Some publishers post a page or two of a work; I know of one that sends out a sampler CD every year or so with short audio exceprts from new works. Just listing titles doesn't do it for me; it's like buying produce from a catalog at a supermarket.
