A few more French composers' works engraved from the Viñes manuscripts
Georges Friboulet (1910-1992) composer and teacher also wrote film music under the pseudonym Jean Daco.
FRIBOULET Prélude (1938).pdf
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Friboulet
Marcel Anthier
ANTHIER Miniatures (1908).pdf
Adolphe Piriou (1878-1964)
PIRIOU Op.5 Reflets (1910) (unfinished WIP).pdf
I got a bit bored by this - it's a very densely annotated score. I've done about 2/3 - the entirety of the first piece Op.5/1 En Preludant and all but the last 5 manuscript pages of the Op.5/2
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolphe_Piriou
http://www.musimem.com/piriou.htm
Alexis Roland-Manuel (1891-1966) composer and critic; friend, student and collaborator of Satie, Ravel and Stravinsky, dedicatee of Honegger's
Pastorale d'été
ROLAND-MANUEL Trois Hommages pour Piano (1914) - No.1 Clarisse.pdf
This is only the first of the three
hommages in the manuscript.

the 'complete' Chaminade is getting more complete! Please see Joanne Polk's new Chaminade album 'Nostalgia' for a number of premieres and also recordings that much improve upon previously available opus numbers.
Stephen Hough has been programming Chaminade in his concerts this year

We are down to just these remaining 'unrecorded' Chaminade works.... Though quality may vary across all currently recorded works, these are the *piano* works that have -never- been covered in any way. Very happy to see Chaminade's legacy grow with the renewed attention and interest. Keep your ears 'peeled' on YouTube for the sparkling musicianship of Gamma1734 for the latest and greatest!
(There are of course larger scale works and chamber pieces in other musical settings that have yet to be premiered...)
Op. 51 - Air de Ballet - La Livry
Op. 98 No. 02 - Scherzetto
Op. 98 No. 06 - Rondo-Allegre
Op. 108 - Agitato
Op. 109 - Valse (5th) - Valse Militaire
