Eugène Ysaÿe

I've recently had the pleasure of discovering his six Sonatas for solo violin after hearing Hilary Hahn play the first one here in Princeton at a recital. They're incredible pieces and I can't get enough of them! I've also been listening to his Poeme Elegiaque, Op. 12 and Reve d'Enfant, Op. 14 for violin and piano and the Sonata for solo cello, Op.28. I was wondering if there's anything else of his that's worth checking out. There seems to be a lack of of his works recorded that are listed online .

The six solo sonatas are the main pieces. There are also a number of pieces for violin & piano that get an occasional airing -- some mazurkas, poème élégiaque, chant d'diver, rêve d'enfant ..  but that's about all that survives in performances.
