  • String Quartets Nos.5, 6, 7, 8 (Nos.6 and 8 subsequently published by the composer in 1867, digitized by Gallica @ BNF.) Perhaps no.5 or 7 is the string quartet in G minor that's also been digitized?? (Or that's a "ninth", wholly unnumbered quartet.)

  • Symphony in B-flat major for orchestra. Probably just missed by Fétis in error, as it was self-published (1863 or 1864?) with plate L.K.1. (See manuscript full score at BNF, BNF, BNF.) Also published in an arrangement for solo piano by B. Damcke (Leipzig: Geissler, 1866 (Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1866), p.37)).
