Wikipedia has these all dating from 1918.

They do sound gorgeous. Many thanks for the heads up, Alan. The CD can be sampled on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbA5HcWebpQ&list=OLAK5uy_l6jKnj7GUgvf6d2Rvv1pz4-GlRIG2jDMc).

Judging from the fact that his 11th has been recorded (by Urs-Joseph Flury on a Fono LP, with his violin concerto no.4 in A minor), there're quite a few of them. I think I look forward to that, if that happens.
Thanks!
(And, what looks like possibly a 2020 reissue of that LP, with violin sonata no.8 added - btw I wonder if Urs-Joseph is a composer-performer relative? Yes, ok, his son  :) about the CD (https://vdegallo.com/en/produit/richard-flury-works-for-violin-urs-joseph-flury-orchestra-della-rsi-bruno-amaducci/)... apologies for that tangent.)

Yes, thanks for noting this. It's a must for me. ;)
