Sibley has released a large amount of music by Emanuel Moór (1863-1931). Details from Grove...

Hungarian composer, pianist and inventor. The son of a cantor, he studied in Prague, Budapest and Vienna before travelling to America in 1885 to pursue a career as a pianist and conductor. In 1888 he settled in England, but travelled frequently to the continent for performances of his works and was encouraged by Brahms, whom he met in 1889. In England his work was championed by George Henschel, who conducted his First Symphony, the Concert Overture and the Piano Concerto in D; the concerto shares with the Second Symphony (1895) a distinctive Hungarian style in its strong rhythms and harmonies. In 1901 Moór moved to Switzerland, where he turned increasingly to opera. Diverse in style and favourably received (most were staged), the operas were nonetheless dropped from the repertory before long, and Moór continued with instrumental composition, finding champions in such performers as Casals (the dedicatee of several works), Marteau, Eugene Ysaÿe and Flesch. Highly rhapsodic and coloured, Moór’s music was often inspired by the contrapuntal complexity of J.S. Bach, as well as by his own Hungarian and Jewish background; despite the musical innovations of the first decades of the twentieth century, Moór’s work remained rooted in the nineteenth century.

Moór is perhaps best known as the inventor of the ‘duplex-coupler’ pianoforte (see Emanuel Moór pianoforte) in 1920. A two-keyboard instrument, the invention was taken up with enthusiasm by Tovey and the pianists Max Pirani and Winifred Christie (who became Moór’s second wife); Bruno Walter was also supportive. In addition Moór invented a new type of violin, but despite initial interest shown in both inventions, they failed to make any lasting impact.

all the stuff had already been released in the past, though

Would anyone have anything by Vincent Adler (1826-1871), composer of études and salon music. I'm particularly interested in a Tarantelle, with a dedication to Alkan...?

No etudes or tarentelles (or 'big spiders' as Alfor likes to call them) here, but here are a couple of pieces by Adler the salon virtuoso.
Pity about the scan quality, but they should still be legible enough.

Still hope to see his set of '12 Etudes de Style' someday!

And another set of pieces by Vincent Adler at Gallica here:
