One of the composers listed in the above Belarus album, is Galina Gorelova. Whilst looking for biographical data on-line, I came across several of her other pieces (many for younger pianists). So bio and works list below plus some scores. In the album are the following works:
1. Figures from Coloured Paper
2. Aleshin's Corner
3. Four Portraits
4. Three Landscapes
5. Three Japanese Miniatures on Silk
6. ‘The Merry Shoemaker’ for Piano & 4 hands
7. ‘Song of the Dormant Reed’ for Piano & 4 hands
Gorelova G - Album of Piano Works.pdf
Further works scattered alongside the list of works below.

I have translated as best as I can but Belarusian is slightly different to Russian (both use the cyrillic alphabet), although Belarusian has more characters but different word structure. Anyone with a better knowledge of Belarusian is welcomed to let me know what I may have got wrong. Some words I just could not translate (even with Google) !
