Note
While I do believe his brother Joachim wrote some important and lasting works whose revival is deserved, I do not claim anything for these works except, actually, historical interest, documenting, in some cases, the musical detritus of a sad (to choose not the only word I might necessarily use but...) time in my own country’s past. and since one of them, Second Fall of Fort Sumter, appears not to be available anywhere but at LoC, according to Google anyway, it's well to mirror it here I believe under that particular mission of ours...

There are probably more out there but the search feature doesn't differentiate between Joseph Kaspar Raff and his more prolific and successful brother Joseph Joachim Raff.
