Does anyone have a subscription to Grove Music Online? If so, could you try to complete Arnaud Dancla's worklist based on what info might be present in Albert Mell and Cormac Newark's "Dancla family" article?

Should there be an explicit list? I only find stuff mentioned in the bios.

Jean Baptiste Charles

He was a prolific composer (Fétis numbered his works at over 140) and won prizes for four of his 14 string quartets and three of his works for male chorus; but it is only through his numerous didactic works that his music survives, the most important being the 20 études brillantes et caractéristiques op.73 and the Ecole du mécanisme op.74.

Arnaud Philipe

He wrote studies and concert pieces for the cello, notably a fantaisie on Auber’s ‘La sirène’, and a number of religious pieces for cello with organ or harmonium accompaniment.

Jean Pierre Leopold

He was a prolific composer of chamber music, character pieces and transcriptions for the violin, and sacred choral and vocal music.

Alphonsine Genevieve Laura

Some of her piano pieces and songs were published in Paris.

That's all I'm finding.

Victor.

Thanks, Victor! - this is perfect. I knew there would probably not be a full worklist, but I wanted to see if there was any info in the article that could be used to improve the IMSLP worklist.

There is a little more information to be had from Pazdírek.

Nice! I did not think Pazdírek would be so useful for a French composer...

Are BdlF and BNF of any use, allowing that like Hofmeister the former, like the publications themselves, may use “A." rather than “Arnaud” causing space for ambiguity.
