My many thanks to Jim F. for the wonderful Debussy transcriptions which are new to me and to Sir Peter for the very early Chaminade which I didn't know were even published. All are very worthwhile additions to our libraries.

Hm! Chaminade's Op. 01 - Two Mazurkas was posted in the Women Composers thread. Are there two Op.1's? Lots of thanks for all of these early works!

From Gallica: Dance of the Water-Nymphs by Paul-Jean de Chauvenet. Interesting to see the title in English.

Thanks to liveforpiano for filling the gap in the collection with the early pieces by CC. Interesting about the two opus 1's--I don't see any evidence that the Mazurkas qualify. (Gallica's records for both show a publication date of 1869--quite early as she would have been about 12.) In any event, here are my alternate B&W versions of same that I made a few months ago:
