I found a couple of Statkowski piano pieces on Spotify. The Op.33 Tocatta was a cracker (hints...

)

I do not have the Tocatta , but I will definitely post the Toccata op. 33 next week!
(A partly somewhat simple but effective work!)

I also have been taking great enjoyment from the many Statkowski pieces Alfor has located for us. I always want to ask why this composer is so unknown? Don't know, but glad he is rediscovered herein.

I believe that's the RSL scan (also on IMSLP)--it is indeed missing the last movement. Here are the missing pages (nms):

Bach-Raff_Cello Sonata 4 - Gigue.pdf

Thanks a lot to Alfor for all the pieces, and once again to all the members like Jean-Séb for reducing greatly the size of the files!!

A Western Suite op. 5

late-romantic style)

More
Hans von BÜLOW
Lacerta (Lizard) Impromptu pour le piano op. 27
the best Bülow piece I know! Influenced by (early) Chopin and
(in one or two spots) Liszt; makes a very fine study for sensitive legato (legatissimo) touch!
Bülow Lacerta op.27.pdf
Innocence
this "watercolor" reflects better quality sensitive salon-music (the one for the fainting young ladies )
Bülow Innocence.pdf
Königsmarsch op. 28
dedicated to the "Kini" (the famous König Ludwig II. von Bayern)
Bülow Königsmarsch op.28.pdf
P.S. Thank you for your comments, dear Frank & parag!
P.P.S. No further info on Börner found!

Would you by any chance have Bulow Op. 07 - Reverie Fantastique ?? I've heard this one recently and highly recommend it! Can't seem to find the score, though....

Thanks for feedback!
Bülow op. 7 not too easy to find.
You might be interested in the early correspondence of Bülow, edited by his 2nd wife:
