Life got in the way of finishing this suite in a timely manner, but here are the last two movements.

and

Rhapsodie Gaélique VI: Fantaisie sur une Contredanse Populaire

If you're new to the thread, the Rhapsodie Gaélique is a six-movement orchestral suite in a transcription for piano duet, published in 1903. Here is a playlist for the entire six-movement suite in order. The score is available at IMSLP.

In the course of exploring little traveled byways of 20th century music, I was turned on to the Breton composer Paul Ladmirault, who composed a number of professional level pieces for piano four hands. I have started working on his Rhapsodie Gaélique, a suite in six movements with Scottish and Irish themes.

The first movement, Les Campbells Arrivent! (The Campbells Are Coming!) is a Highlander March.

Rhapsodie Gaélique I.

The second movement is the Danse des Fées (Fairy Dance).

Rhapsodie Gaélique II.

The third movement is a Nocturne.

Rhapsodie Gaélique III.
