Many thanks for the Milhaud! I always enjoy lesser-known pieces by Les Six.

Though he was born Hungarian, composer Tibor Harsanyi made his career in the Parisian music scene alongside other L'Ecole de Paris composers such as Tansman, Mihalovici, and Martinu. His work is mostly unknown, but it's certainly worthy of more recognition. Here's some short pieces that exhibit a cosmopolitanism akin to his peers and forebears like Milhaud.

Tibor HARSANYI
Dance pieces (3); 1. Tango, 2. Boston, 3. Foxtrot (1928)

The currently circulating copy of Claude Pascal's Portraits d'Enfants is incomplete--only 1-11 of the 12 pieces are present. Does anyone have a replacement copy or page? Thanks.

Leon Boellmann's Improvisations Op28 in reprint by Masters. (Original=Durand) Very similar to L'Heures Mystiques for harmonium and would probably work well on same.

A good number of Méreaux's other piano works are now uploaded to Gallica too.
