It has just appeared on the BnF Gallica site, so is now available for download!

Here's a B&W version of the BNF scans:

Ravina_Chant du moissonneur, Scène pittoresque pour piano, Op.80.pdf

Thank you, yes, this is the one that I requested from the BnF, which they subsequently posted. You, however, have improved upon the scan that they sent me and I am very grateful! Thank you! Any help with the Wenzel would also be most appreciated!

I am seeking a long lost salon piece by Brinley Richards, simply titled "Song of the Troubadour." Possible translations would be Lied des Troubadours and Trubadurens Slang... any assistance would be most apprecited..

Could it be his transcription of Verdi's Ihres Auges himmlisch' Strahlen from The Troubadour? Also available on IMSLP.

The piece was played by Lars Roos on his Poems album, if that helps at all...

The transcription from Il Trovatore was worth a shot.

Hello all,

I just have a question that I hope someone could help me with.

On the 5th volume of the Naxos Romantic Piano Favourites, there is an arrangement of Franz Lehar's Vilja (Vilia) Song from The Merry Widow - my question is has anyone seen this arrangement and/or know where it is? If you care to share, thank you in advance. It is quite an attractive arrangement.

I don't have this arrangement, but maybe what is included is an acceptable replacement. Bw, paolor

It appears to be the performer's own--perhaps you could contact him:
