Christian Sinding's six Piano Pieces Op. 32 have become world famous due to third piece Rustle of Spring. Sinding's music combines late-Romantic tonal charm with mysterious Nordic cadences, also typical of Edvard Grieg or Niels W. Gade. The sometimes virtuosic character does not rival the complexity of Franz Liszt, meaning some pieces remain within the grasp of the advanced pupil. The whole opus, available in the original version for the first time, is based on a critical comparison of the first edition with the composer's autograph. The six pieces are each of a different character and level of difficulty. For both music lessons and concert performances, they are a welcome addition to the late 19th century piano repertoire. / Piano

Par SINDING CHRISTIAN. Christian Sinding (1856-1941) gained worldwide fame with his piano piece 'Frühlingsrauschen', which is likely to be his most famous work still today. The '5 Klavierstücke' Op. 97, created in 1909, are bravura pieces the late Romantic harmony of which is sometimes reminiscent of Richard Strauss. The effective brilliant piano setting is characterised by a widely elaborated melody and can be easily mastered by the advanced player. Large arpeggios characterise the first piece 'Des Morgens'. 'Auf dem Wasser' is an evocative tone painting in swaying 12/8 time with powerful unison passages in the middle section. 'Intermezzo' appears capricious, with dance-like figures. 'Gewitter' is a brilliant concert study in the style of Liszt. The work concludes with the piece 'Aquarell', a poetic salon piece revelling in harmonies, notated as a clear piano setting./ Répertoire / Piano

En effet, de nombreux compositeurs scandinaves ont écrits une quantité considérable de pièces où prédominent l'élégance des motifs, le plaisir de l'interprétation et de l'écoute, la mise en valeur du timbre.
