Apparently they uploaded some manuscripts of unpublished works by ye good olde Alkan! A true festival for every fan of Alkan's music! I'm talking about two (unfortunately) unfinished pieces: Appassionato for piano and an Etude for Pedalier both in D major.
Also there are two orchestral works, Cantatas in particular: Hermann & Ketty and L'entrée en loge.
Again check this out for yourself if you are interested and to verify the sources!

French - Polish ?
either way, does anyone know where the score is to this beautiful nocturne by Henri Kowalski?
Op. 89 - Nocturne (3rd)
Does anyone have a YouTube account to be able to contact the pianist herself?
Maybe the score is hiding in a more obvious overlooked spot.

As far as I can tell after my research, Op.89 by Kowalski is a Menuet and not a Nocturne (maybe he used Op.89 twice?) I will keep my eyes open for this!
Best regards

Beautiful work, musiclife, hope you are successful in hunting these score.
Robin, you are right:
op.89a Menuet-Regence (1895)
op.89b Nocturne No.3
Best regards.

Thank you both for your input and information! I think Menuet-Regence was supposed to be Op. 88..but who can tell..
She is a judge in the Cle d'Or competition that the young pianist Angelina Natal competed in. The pianist has another performance of this piece on her own channel,
but comments are disabled and no contact email is registered there. However her facebook page does have contact information https://www.facebook.com/pg/angelina.prodiges/about/
Separate to that, the Op.89a wasn't too hard to find:
