Thank you for pointing this out ! This album has the beautiful nocturne by sorely unknown composer Henisz, which is the very last piece in the collection ! It has also been recorded by Khwarg on her nocturne album.

Does anyone have this Andante in E flat by Smetana

I think it is a posthumous piece, but I am not sure. Anyway I was not able
to find the sheet on the net.
Thank you very much in advance !

Thank you so much, Jim !

Friml.

Does anyone have the Five Character Pieces op 84 by Rudolf Friml? In particular I'm after no. 1 Reminiscence, but it would be great to see them all.

I've been listening to Sara Buechner's Friml CD; it's lovely.

Cheers,

P.

Most of Friml is still under copyright, but you can buy it from Schirmer's
