I was interested to read the discussion on him.  Coincidentally, his Mazurka Italienne for piano recently appeared on IMSLP.  It is a really attractive salon piece, which I have recorded on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/154V1cBOlng - although I doubt if it is representative of the sort of work he would have triumphed over Bartok with in the 1905 Rubinstein competition!

Sorry to be so slow responding to this - which I have only just come across.  The lack of available scores by Corder is a mystery.  Given his education in Germany and his work at the RAM he must surely have written more than is listed in the Wikipedia worklist.  For example, I have seen reference to a cornet concerto written for Celian Kottaun and performed with Corder's Brighton Aquarium orchestra. 

I can shed a little light on his piano style however, as I have just uploaded to YouTube his unpublished transcription of Grieg's song 'Ragna' (one of twelve arrangements) - which shows his Lisztian leanings: http://youtu.be/ZuohnRlZXRk

FYI I have just posted my performance of Lie's Vuggevise from his 4 Pianostykker to YouTube, on: http://youtu.be/o3Ai-5DMA4o
