Carl Nielsen: Suite Op. 45: Piano: Instrumental Work

The first major piano work by consummate Scandinavian composers Carl Nielsen. This accurate critical edition of Symphonic Suite contains extensive notes on the method of revision and comments on the historical context of the work by Mina F. Miller. With it's heart rooted firmly in the Romantic era tradition it is dynamic and has an advanced harmonic approach which became characteristic of Nielsen's work.
