I'm unsure about the suitability of this composer's music for discussion at UC. Please could you supply some evidence, Giles?

A few of his later works can be heard on YouTube. I would like to hear some of his pre-1924 works, though, as being conceivably closer to our orbit (or not). (Though his trio from 1952 seems to -me- to be enjoyable enough, that's not really relevant.)

Eric, Marcelle de Manziarly was a lady!
From the music of hers which is available on YouTube I would say she does not really qualify for inclusion on this forum.

I'm happy for this posting to be deleted if it is thought not appropriate for this forum.

Let's leave the thread as it is and see whether any earlier works turn up which might be suitable for discussion. Thanks for all your contributions - especially erica's

Btw, oops ...
