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... ;D

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

Cheers,
