this Kessler piece has a frontispiece declaring two Nocturnes, though there is a third number after them!

more, Kessler.
Kessler, Joseph-Op. 68-Scherzolino.pdf
Kessler, Joseph-Op. 28-Nocturnes, Three.pdf
Kessler, Joseph-Op. 27-Bagatelles, Six.pdf
Should Op. 28 be Three Bagatelles, perhaps....

According to Fetis
https://books.google.fr/books?id=X-t4Tm ... &q&f=false
and to this page,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Christoph_Kessler
opus 30 should be Bagatelles.
According to that page :
https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/BLK%C3%9 ... _Christoph
opus 30 should be 24 preludes.
But I think they are wrong.

Everyone is very welcome - was anyone able to identify and/or locate the score for the Kessler Etude C video that was shared?

It seems a very long piece, far longer than any known Kessler prelude/etude...

do we know of any other prelude and/or etude collections? I reviewed the comments on the video and so far no identification. Perhaps we can also contact the player.

Thank you musiclife217 and bingo for providing/locating all these scores!

To express my gratitude I am uploading a midi file I created for the Op. 31 Preludes.

This was transcribed by ear since I don't have the sheet music available to me but i feel like it is mostly accurate. Apologize for the quick speed for some sections.
