Seli
m Palmgren
(1878-1951) was a Finnish
composer, pianist, and
conductor, whose talents
often led to him being
compared to Chopin. He
studied in Helsinki and
Berlin, before touring
successfully as a concert
pianistacross Scandinavia
and the United States. He
later held posts as a
Professor of Composition
on both sides of the
Atlantic. He was one of
the last members of the
Romantic movement, but
struggled to find his own
individual stylefrom
behind the domination of
Sibelius.
The
Sea was written
in 1907 as the twelfth of
a set of 24 Piano
preludes (Op. 17). It is
generally regarded as one
of his best Piano
preludes, and makes a
stunningaddition to any
recital.
