If out there is a kind soul who can translate the Czech titles...

Perhaps:
1. In Church (literally 'In the Cloisters'?)
2. Among Children
3. In Love
4. To Music
5. At Night

Alfor, thanks for the lovely Bach-Raff transcriptions. Very delightful

re: "P.S. Much Ravel influence in op. 15,2 - as in a couple of others of Vladigerov's works. Indeed one of his best!"

For a really strong Ravel influence, Vladigerov's Op.36,5 "Toccata" is strongly derivative of the Toccata from Le Tombeau de Couperin, however Vladigerov's harmony is distinctly more complex. The more I study Vladigerov's music I am seeing particular distinct melodic and harmonic conventions recurring, so I am getting a handle on his style (finally). That said, I have much more fun playing Vladigerov's Toccata and Ravel's.

And on the subject of Suk's Op.28 "O Matince", I have to agree that the 3rd movement is a real treasure and Suk gets a very interesting effect by the precise pedaling he indicates.

Only through Pianophilia would we ever uncover such treasures!
