To those who may have the ear of those who may have influence within the halls of sundry classical music labels: A. Fesca wrote just enough piano music to fill up a cd quite nicely. Just saying.

Hyperion did it for Gottschalk  ;)

The slow movement of his 2nd piano trio was once popular enough to be arranged once for organ and once for harmonium (one of the arrangements is at the Library of Congress, one at Sibley Library, scanned in). I regard such things as an "earnest" of his popularity and there does in any case and my opinion seem to be a there there; I'd like to hear more of his music, solo, chamber and otherwise...

According to Cobbett's encyclopedia, Fesca wrote six piano trios and quite a bit of other chamber music

Yes, including two quite beautiful Septets (piano, oboe, horn and four strings) recorded by CPO.
