The staccato marks in e.g. the 5th bar and second-last bar of the Nocturne are puzzling. They didn't seem to have any audible effect, and I think the performer may even have pedalled them. Since they're under a slur, I can't guess what the composer intended.

The impromptu (Eros) made me think about Blumenfeld's Etude de Concert.
The first & third of these are exquisite ! Would love to hear these as spectacular encores
the nocturne is so beautiful
How unknown but so very beautiful and thank you for posting this. ♥🌷🌷🌷(Netherlands)
😇Great job!
Same to you!
Impromptu resemblant of Blumenfeld's Etude de Concert, Op. 24.
yeah it's like .. literally the same
some parts sound like literal transpositions
Bortkiewcz was never the most original composer
The ending of the impromptu sounds a lot like Rachmaninoff, yet it has a character of its own at the same time
Yes! And some Scriabin references as well, like the mystic chord
