Apart from the famous Islamey,there is a wonderful sonata which is very rarely done.For the complete list of work,you should check the Grove.

He composed many great works besides Islamey. Some of them are Sonata, Sonatina, Reverie, Scherzi, Nocturne NO. 3, Toccata.......there are many other. I believe Koenemann has published most of his piano solo works if not all. hope this helps.

whats his sonatine like?? I had a freind who played the sonata but not publically! and I have a friend who studied 'the Lark' of Balakirev for an exam - very pretty piece. Do his scherzo's end up sounding a cross between Chopin and Rachmaninov? if so not a bad cross?!?!?
