Скачать или смотреть Aidan M. Feeney -- Parlor Music, AF 95

As a pianist, one of my favorite pastimes is sitting down at the piano and playing pieces of the “album leaf” (albumblatt) genre. These are generally simple, yet deeply artful pieces of music, often evoking images of nostalgia, mythology, and memory. One of the most extensive collections of these pieces was given by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in his sixty-six Lyriske Stykke (Lyric Pieces), published between 1867 and 1901 in ten books. These pieces have long been near and dear to my heart, and it is to them that my own set owes a great debt. "Parlor Music" sets a similar collection of images, nostalgic and otherwise, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources to create an imaginative and colorful set, all intended to be approachable and rewarding for the casually accomplished pianist.
