Szymanowski, Karol: VOCAL-music

[Furioso]

The IMSLP already has an interesting collection of Karol Szymanowski's works.

However, as I noticed that quite a lot of his beautiful vocal compositions are missing from such an genious and full hearted composer, I suggest doing some updating on this matter.

As an sidenote: I did notice one earlier thread on the similar wish-matter:

I think these 2 works would be essential new feature to the IMSLP-contence, and in the interest of many Szymanowski-fanatics/lovers:

1. Love Songs of Hafiz - songs, for voice and orchestra - 1914
* The Tomb of Hafiz
* The Pearls of My Heart
* Your Voice
* Eternal Youth
* Drinking Songs

2. The King Roger -opera




And no doubt many singers would appreciate the following songs also!!!:
