Does anyone have Zygmunt Stojowski's Aspirations, Op.39 No.1 "L'aspiration vers l'azur- Prélude"?

Quite a lovely piece.

Thanks very much.

Hi all,
Has anyone come across the Spanisches Ständchen op63/1 by Xaver Scharwenka played so winningly by Stephen Hough on his Spanish album?
Thanks

Paul Kuczinsky correct here? Any details about him?

Paul Kuczynski. Born 1846 Berlin, died 1897 Berlin....although classified as a Polish composer.
He was a banker by profession but also recognised as an excellent muscian. He studied with Bulow and Kiel. Primarily noted as a compsoer of vocal scores. Of his few piano pieces the only ones I'm aware of are:
Humoreske
Intermezzo
Karnevalwalzer
Phantasiestucke
Variation, Fuge & Landler [as posted]

A hard composer to track down both interms of scores and information. Many thanks to kh0815 for posting the variations.
