Can someone supply information about the following items
I've found in various online sources:

1.
May 8, 1924  New York
COLUMBIA 91-M  mx.81766-1  81767-1
  There is A Garden (Proctor)
  Where My Dear Lady Sleeps (Breville-Smith)
Louis Graveure, baritone
Erno Balogh, piano

is the issue number correct?  Which matrix belongs to which selection?

are there any other sides from this session?  other recordings around this time?

2. are there any recordings by Balogh after this session, before
the recordings accompanying Lotte Lehmann in the 1930's?


3. Early 1950's - there was an LP to accompany:
     Felix Guenther, Editor: The Piano and its Ancestors
     An Anthology of Early Keyboard Music for Piano
     Associated Music Publishers, Inc.  New York  1951?
listed as:  SOUND BOOK PRESS SOCIETY HMRCLP 49567 Aid material for music appreciation studies
            Played by Edith Weiss-Mann and Erno Balogh on various keyboard instruments.

Can anyone confirm BALOGH's presence on this record, verify the catalog number, and
provide any information about the publisher (owners, address, other recordings, etc.)???

   --Clavichord:
       Chorale (Scheidt).
