Ah ha!!! You've been raiding the National Library of Australia again, haven't you????

I had no idea that Iris was a composer - like several million other piano students in Australia I learned a piece called 'La Cascades' by her father George, who was quite well known in Sydney in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Thank you for sharing! So many good scans go unnoticed!

Has anyone seen/heard/have solo piano music of Dora Pejacevic?

Not sure about the solo works, but the Symphonie Concertante is an absolute top notch romantic warhorse, full of ravishing melodies.

Check the recording on youtube.

Concertingly.

It would be interesting to see her Piano Sonata in B flat Minor Op. 36,
published by Hrvatsko muzikološko društvo in 2002.

Anyone ever seen scores by Maria Bach (1896-1978, Student of Joseph Marx)?

Anyone with the Opus 10 Prélude by Mel Bonis? Thanks.

---edit---

I did a little more digging and found it in this collection on BNF:

There are several of her scores on BNF that haven't made it to IMSLP yet--well worth checking out.

Most of her piano music has been re-published in typeset editions. Not sure about the PD of those editions, though.
