The 6th Sonata of Sophie-Carmen Eckhardt-Gramatte (1952) has the same
plan as Alkan's Op. 76 Etudes.  The first movement is for the left
hand alone, the second for the right alone, the third for both hands in
contrary motion.  It's been recorded by Hamelin -- who else?  -- and I
heard him perform it in London.
