Rossini Péchés de vieillesse albums misidentified

[cjsmith53]

What has been posted as Albums I–IV of the Péchés are not that. Rather they are volumes I–IV of the Kalmus reprint edition of a collection piano pieces by Rossini, from various albums of the Péchés.
For example, what is identified as Album I is actually Volume I of Piano Pieces, containing only 6 pieces:
Petite Caprice (Style Offenbach), from Album X (Miscellanea) of the Péchés.
Prélude inoffensif… from Album VIII (Chaumière)
L’innocence italienne… from Album V (Les enfants adolescents)
Ouf! les petits pois… from Album V (Les enfants adolescents)
Una caresse à ma femme… from Album VI (Les enfants dégourdis)
Un petit train de plaisir… from Album VI (Les enfants dégourdis)

The actual Album I (Album italiano) of the Péchés contains 12 pieces, none of which are in this Volume I as posted here.

All four volumes should be relabeled as part of a collection (by which original publisher? I've no idea) of piano pieces, drawn from the Péchés.

This has been on my list of pages to try to clean up, the problem being that my university does not have volumes of the original so I can't check anything, and I haven't had time to track down indexes of the original volumes. I will try to look into this further in the next few days. It would help, though if anyone with access to the originals could put in a contents list by volume. I know that's a big ask, considering how many volumes there are, but it would be much appreciated . . .

OK, I've made a note in the first section of the current uploads. I'm hoping someone can upload the originals. B

That's definitely useful. Thanks.
