A good number of Méreaux's other piano works are now uploaded to Gallica too.

Thank you for the links!

Equipped with a sound self-assuredness the French are among the few nations who have their own word

"Télécharger"

for "download" or "downloading"!!!

Thanks to Alfor for pointing us non-francophiles to the right button to click on!

Someone once dubbed Mereau's works as rather "vacuous". Maybe so, but they sure are a blast to play!

A somewhat rare L'ecole de Paris concertino in full score, dedicated to Thalbergmad, as a companion to Mihalovici's Toccata for piano/orchestra. There are unfortunately some faded notes here and there, but nothing that's beyond educated guesswork:

Tibor HARSANYI
Concertstück, for piano and orchestra (1930)

And, speaking of Mihalovici...:

Marcel MIHALOVICI
Piano Sonata, op. 90 (1964)

A French version of Schumann:

Guirlandes (1913) by Henry Fevrier.

Thank you for this piece by Février who wrote little but nice piano music.

More Fevrier. This is from a set of 4 pieces called Estampes Japonaises. They are: 1) Jardins Fleuris, 2) Mousmé, 3) Jiu-Jit-Su, 4) Pousse-pousse. Will scan the rest later. I am still looking for the Nocturne of Fevrier.

Thanks again.

On Alberic Magnard: we all know the Op. 7, but he wrote two other work for piano, Op. 1 Three Pieces, and another one called En Dieu mon espérance et mon épée pour ma défense. Anyone has scores of these two pieces? Thank you.

Gallica have, over the last few days, released several downloadable works by Élie Delaborde, which aroused my great interest!
Included are his cadence to Beethoven's 4th piano concerto and some of the few examples of his own writing. If anyone is interested, follow the link below and click 'Télécharger' on any pieces that might interest you:
