Brilliant. Thank you also for giving the opus numbers. Sometimes, the editors give a new title to the pieces. For example, I had never seen the lovely Nocturne op. 13 by Ravina under the name Silvia.
I confirm that Goria Nocturne is op.6, but with the title "Caprice-Nocturne" in the version I have.
Talexy's Mazurka Brillante corresponds to my Étude-Mazurke op.19.

The start of this delightful piece always reminds me
of Schumann's Canon in B minor Op56 No5.
I don't normally make dedications, but I owe a big debt
of gratitude to Jean-Seb, the starter of this thread, so
this is dedicated to him. Hopefully, JS, it'll be openable
and playable - it's quite tricky in places!

Thank you Timtin. TWINUI from Microsoft still refuses to open it, but I can open it wih Adobe Acrobat and that's the main point. It is still not understood why your files are the only ones which have that problem!
Now for the question "is it playable ?", I guess I will have to practice a little bit because it seems to go quite fast at the end !

I haven't come across a scanned copy. BNF holds a copy as does the British Library.

Thank you, Timtin. It seems that this piece was actually famous in England :

but I have never heard of it in France nor found it in my collections.
In France, we have another musician, more serious, called Reber :

Thank you very much. I had not come across it, but it was obviously once well-known, as was the sentimental verse with which it concludes (presumably by "Reber" himself).
