As you can see, many missing gaps

[eschiss1]

Op.25 seems to be a set of 25 Tatar and Bashkir songs; original title: Musul'manskija pesni / Mélodies musulmanes published or composed in 1901. See IMSLP. Your list has several works IMSLP/ours does not, though... thanks.

[Lisztrachmaninovfan]

I have just expanded the list on IMSLP quite a bit...

Hopefully some of the works that I have recently added may fill up some of your gaps.

Cheers,
Lisztrachmaninovfan

I hope this listing will help. Note: even the works with opus number were not all published. Many of them exist only as manuscript.
Therefore it is hard to compile his compositions.
