I'll do some more research and let you know.
Thanks

Unfortunately, the only copy I could find of the Op 124 Barcarolle is held in the National Library of Ukraine. So alas no chance of obtaining a copy at this stage. They seem to hold a number of scores by Prisovsky - worth remembering for the future.

Hi W. Ch.:

His name is Vasily Prisovsky (1861 — 1917).

According IMSLP: Nombres Alternativos/Transliteraciones: Василий Арефиевич Присовский ; Василь Арефійович Присовський ; Vasily Arefievich Prisovsky ; Vasil' Arefijovič Prisovs'kij ; W. A. Prisowski ; A. Ovenberg (pseud.).

Regards.

As the majority of his works were published by Idzikowski, then the majority will be in the National Library of Ukraine. Unfortunately the card Index facility is currently off-line, so I can not check specifically for you (need to read Ukrainian).

By the way did you realize that Ovenberg is a pseudonym of Prisovsky.

Quite a large collection of Prisovsky in the Polish library: https://polona.pl/search/?filters=creat ... 2,public:0

For example:
PRISOVSKY Op.85 In Ukraine, potpourri No.1 of the most beautiful Ukrainian songs and melodies (bw).pdf

Some time ago I made pdfs from the single jpg.images at Polona. Here are all my Prisovsky scores from several places within the www. Any additions welcome.



By the way: is it Dumka, Doumka, Shoumka (different spelling in Ukrainian / Russian ???)

Best regards

Many thanks Paul - I can check off from what I already hold.

Russian - it's usually Dumka

Ukrainian - its Doumka or Shoumka (which tends to be more European form of Shumka)

This points to some errors in IMSLP labelling e.g.

Op.209 Le Violin Pleurant is labelled as Op.225, and the catalog detail as Op.206!

There appear to be some other opus collisions that I will work through
