Neldy A.B. Danse Italienne Op.53

Thank you for Ketterer, always welcome, and this new name to me : Adolphe Bouleau-Neldy was a serious organist at the Cathedral of Angers, probably originally from Bordeaux. As many others minor composers we have seen in this section, he had beside his austere official function at church time to write and publish light music pieces and maybe earn a little more money.

Has anyone seen or knows where to find:

"Variations on an aria from Donizetti's l'Elisir d'amore" by Franz / Francois Hunten?

I have searched high and low and am leaving it to our amazing forum contributers!

This is nicely arranged score, recorded by Frank Cooper, which I would love to see and share! Ideas anyone?

Apparently there are only two pieces by F.Hünten on airs from l'Elisir :

op.137 Deux Fantaisies
op.112 Petits fleurs de salon

I should listen to the recording in order to indentify which one ...

and possibly Op. 113 No. 01 or Op. 133 No. 01 - these were also Elisir, I believe --I'll respond to you in a pm...

thanks for your help - this is a nice one and I would love to have the score!

Yes 113 n.1 is a short set of var.on "Quanto è bella" (from L'elisir); 133 n.1 is another short set of var., but I cannot say if the theme comes from L'elisir

Yes, I had a suspicion that it was 113 No. 01, but I couldn't confirm it, thank you!

Okay, one more Hunten request - is anyone in possession of ...

Hunten, Franz - Op. 94 - Themes Elegants Varies

The one that I need is Op. 94 No. 01 - Variations sur la Marche favorite de l'opera de Bellini, La Norma ??

Thank you again to the amazing board members !

You will shortly be able to download the excellent Valse Tourbillon by this French composer from http://imslp.org/wiki/Valse_Tourbillon, ... MSLP227222 . This is the only piece I own by him - does anyone have any more of his work?
