Here's another offering from my collection of stuff that I don't
really want, but always feel compelled to buy whenever I spot it,
in order to rescue it from oblivion! This piece is by Iris Taylor.

Nice one Tim. The composer is actually Fred Hartley using his Iris Taylor pseudonym.

Well said. Thanks.

August(e) Ergmann (unf. no biographical datas found, may be somebody else (?))
Caprice melodique - Souvenir du jeune âge
Published by William Czerny, London, n.d. [c.1870-1880]

Ergmann,A.-.Caprice-mélodique-(pno-Czerny,W-Edition).pdf

Little update:
There were two composers with the name A. Ergmann.

Auguste Ergmann was a French organist in the 19th century
and
August (without -e) Ergmann was a German pianist and teacher, who lived and worked in Cologne and Leipzig.
The posted piece seems to be written by August (without -e) Ergmann.

Here's another contribution from my collection.

Lamarte The River Path Suite.pdf

[Jim Faston]

Nice one Tim. Lamarte is definitely new to me. I see two suites in Worldcat: The River Path and The Enchanted Valley, both published by Page.

[Timtin]

Jim, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have the other suite.

The middle piece from the above file is available on YouTube, played
by our colleague Phillip Sear.

Here's another scan which I did recently. Having uploaded it to IMSLP,
it turned out that another scan of the same album was already on there.
This was despite the fact that, as always, I'd done a preliminary check to see.

Anyway, the music is so much fun to play, it deserves duplication!
It's by Charles Godard (= Franz Behr).
