Most IMSLP versions seem to have a large number of typos - missing accidentals, notes that are off by a third on the staff, missing 8va marks, missing "D.C." markings, etc. The Dover collection (with page numbers 110-123) is typical of this poor editing.

The earliest copy on IMSLP is from 1894 and is much cleaner, but it's also incomplete. It has a note that says "Contained preliminary version of valse no. 1~4 only."

I know there are editions by Kalamus and Salabert but haven't seen them.
FJH Classic Editions has the best edition of the Valse Poeticos. https://www.fjhmusic.com/piano/display.php?item=H1008

It's not a free edition, but it's very well notated. Make sure to check out the preview images.

Thanks Ivesman. I'm still hoping for a decent free version, but I appreciate the link if I end up having to buy it.

I'm wondering if anyone has any sheet music of Nicolás Ledesma, a classical era Spanish composer. Ana Benavides has recorded some (or all?) of his music (see Piano Inédito Español Del Siglo XIX, vol. 3, 6). I only discovered this wonderful composer a few days ago and am fascinated with his music (it reminds me of Beethoven). Unfortunately, IMSLP does not have his music. Benavides has collaborated with Piles Editorial de Música, S.A. to publish his music along with that of others (Rare Spanish Music of the 19th Century, Vol. 1), but those volumes are very expensive. I hope there's someone who happens to have public domain photocopies of some of his music, but I'm sure it's unlikely.

Hi momipiano

Many thanks for the Porcel pieces, but be careful with potential copyright as the composer only died in 1993. I am happy to leave these two pieces as an example of the composers work, but please do not post anything further by Porcel.

Sorry, Mballan, I took the partitures from a public doctoral thesis, my mistake.
