These are the works listed from his catalogue, again still very confusing:

4. Concertino in e-moll No.4 (Augsburg Verlag Combart and Co.)
5. Concertino brillant No.5 (le retour a Francfort) op.75 (gew. Andre)
6. Concert in Es-dur No.6 op.56 (76?)
7. Concert rondeau 'souvenir de Field' op.101
8. Variations op.41 (Andre)

Unpublished:

So this is where I think I got the Op.54 from:

It's possible that's incorrect as I believe it is all user submissions.  Sadly no score is available, so the year (1823/4) is the only thing we have to identify it.  It also mentions Andre for whatever that's worth.  I think we might be dealing with 2 or more competing catalogues, that have given different numbers to some works?

Okay, so apparently "Le Retour a Francfort" has a chorus part in its 3rd movement, that makes it definitely distinct from the C minor concerto.  The name or a translation of it is also shared by several poems, in French, German, and English at least.  Most of them seem too recent to be Schmitt's inspiration, but not all.

From the bits I've seen in the score, the text is pretty unreadable, though it appears to be in French.  (I'm somewhat fluent in French, but the penmanship is very rough.)  If anyone here is well-versed in French poetry from this time period, that could be very helpful.

Not that I have the ability to simulate singing actual words in my transcriptions (which is relevant to my current project doing Henri Herz's 6th concerto), though it's possible I may be able to make a connection to a real choir.
