Chopin- Works without opus number
on: April 04, 2007, 07:36:16 PM
I'm curious about the much lesser-known pieces by Chopin. Does anybody have the following?:

Op. S 2 No. 1, Grand Duo concertant for cello and piano in E major (1832)

Op. A 1 No. 2, Prelude in F major (1845)

Op. A 1 No. 6, Nocturne in C sharp minor - Nocturne oublié  (NOT the famous one!)

(√) Op. P 1 No. 10, Variations in A - "Souvenir de Paganini" (1829)

Op. P 2 No. 9, Lied in A minor, Rêverie (Dumka) (1840)

(√) Op. P 3 No. 2, Fugue in A minor (1841-1842)

And also, if you have it, a Canon in F minor that I have heard rumors of but have yet to find proof that it exists.

Well, I got the work numbers off Wikipedia, so it's not exactly guaranteed, but there must be mention of it somewhere else.

Thal, didn't you say you had a set of rare Chopin pieces? Are any of these in there?

Any headway on that backup, Thal?

I'm still very interested in seeing if you have any of these.
