I suggest that you could search the Web for Midi files of some of
these pieces which you could play on your computer (assuming you have
a soundcard, which you would need anyway to play MP3s on it):
For example
- Flower Song (G. Lange Op. 39 - Amsco Music Sales, NYC 1933) is
available as a Midi file on
http://www.classicalmidi.gothere.uk.com/page21.htm (it is called
'Blumenlied)
- The Maiden's Prayer (Thecla Badarzewska) is available on
http://frontpage.uk.digiserve.com/musicforpianos/musicbywomen.htm
- Come back to Sorrento (Ernesto di Curtis - Robbin Music Corp 1935)
is available on:
http://home.arcor.de/returntome/seiten/midi.htm
Fur Elise and La Paloma should also be easy to find. I suggest you do
Google searches for the word 'midi' with the composer name and also
the name of the piece in the original language as well as English.
Some of the pieces may be available on commercial CDs of 19th c salon
music.
Good luck.
