Volume 2-A superb collection that brings together the finest British Piano music of the twentieth-century and features some of the greatest British composers of all time.

With comprehensive background notes to each of the ten pieces here this is a fine book of fantastic and enjoyable pieces which any intermediate pianist will enjoy.

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
