Hmm,

Appetite for French music!

I am wondering whether one of the magnanimous souls here would have this.

It is in the public domain in USA.

Thanks in advance,
IU

Thanks.  These are gorgeous!

I wonder why no one plays this stuff.  Let me see if I can muster some concentration and learn some of this.

Thanks!

Yes - a composer whose work deserves far more attention than it gets - try the violin sonata, the setting of Psalm 46, the orchestral Le Tragédie de Salome (which just predates Strauss's great opera on the same) and the work that occupied him on and off for some seven years during the first decade of the last century and which turned out to be one of the greatest piano quintets ever composed...

Best,

Alistair
