Definitely interesting. If these piano preludes are cut from the same cloth as his wonderful cello sonata, we are in for a treat!

Indeed.
There's a very nice audio excerpt here:

And another video that will give a good idea of the Preludes of that totally unknown composer.

Erm....this thread is about the Preludes from much earlier in his career (ca. 1900) whereas the YouTube video concerns the 40 Preludes "from the years 1924-1931" in his later style. Let's stick to the earlier compositions here, please.

I'm not sure about the idiom of the later compositions, but please feel free to investigate and start another thread, if appropriate. Thanks.
