There is also 3 Nocturnes for voice and piano Op.35? (or is this an arrangement of Op.34 of 1923?) published 1925. BNF has catalogued them together as closely related works (e.g. BNF) but I think this is a mistake?

First completed in voice and piano form February 1915 (see WorldCat (manuscript @ French National Library.)) unless this definitely refers to the Op.34-arrangements which perhaps it does. The BNF references here need to ply-apart-knots-genies-and-nocturnal-things.
