(Information obtained from publishers' catalogues and the Leighton collection at the Univcersity of Edinburgh. I have no idea why opuses 16, 18 and 19 should be assigned those particular numbers given their apparent date of composition.)

Given that the piano music is unrepresented in the list, I won't list it myself - but just tell folk to go out and grab the Angela Brownridge set of the complete piano music on Delphian. Tremendous stuff!! She was one of Leighton's students in Edinburgh I believe.
