Transcription: probably in 1853-54 for publication by Girod. The ‘piano-scandé’, invented by the piano-makers Lentz and Houdart in 1853, allowed the two pedals to be applied to single octaves at a time, thus allowing soft pedal in one register and sustaining pedal (or none) in another. The fragments are all very short, less than ten bars in each extract.
