Carl Nielsen: Humoresque Bagatelles Op.11

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician often seen as his country’s greatest composer who now occupies a distinguished platform in the national and cultural heritage of his native Denmark. The Carl Nielsen Edition is an independent project which aims to publish all of his finished works in the version last approved by the composer. The Humoresque-Bagatelles Op.11 is a collection of six pieces for solo Piano. They were written in 1897 presumably with his own children in mind and they depict various scenes of children playing. They form an entertaining light-hearted set of works and this new edition will allowthem to be enjoyed by many more generations to come.
