Calmato: Andante: Etude d'expression: Jeu lié et chantant. Mereaux shows his lyrical side. I'm surprised this hasn't been played more often as it is one of the accessible etudes.

"Kalkbrenner’s piece presents one of the most important composition forms in the Style Brillante epoch. His composition “Le Fou” (The Madman) was a hit in early 1800s (eighteen hundreds).

Fantaisie brillante sur des motifs du Lieder "Les Plaintes de la jeune fille" (Des Mädchens Klage) Alexandre Goria I used my NCIS skills to enhance the only scan I could find on IMSLP (seriously, look it up, it's the worst scan I've seen just horrible), so if anyone wants this piece I uploaded it to scribd.
