The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence.

I just got this album, track 02 simply titled Pen (youtube video linked below for reference) sounds like fun and has that "Hamauzu" feel I love in all his music.

from the album description/review "...Masashi Hamauzu's "Pen" hearkens back to his Vielen Dank album with its solo piano focus and impressionistic feel. As ever with Hamauzu, even the most modest of compositions are coloured by some eccentric development and lush chord choices. It's an elegant and characteristic work that convincingly depicts scholarly pursuits...."

I checked my usual sources that I use for imports (I'm in the US), and I can't find any mention of Square Enix Music Publishing (Japan) ever releasing this in print.

Does anyone know if it is or was ever available for purchase  and where/how? I know it's a long shot but I've gotten very lucky lately finding rare (even in Japan) scores for import my way, but this one has been especially difficult.
