Selected Piano Works - Book Four
Publisher Desc.
The intricacies and nuance of Helen C. Crane's (1868 - 1930) musical
style is at once evident in her piano music.
Helen must have been a pianist judging from the way her music lays
under the fingers (albeit with hands like Rachmaninoff). From mid-career there is "Morning Moods" op.45,
five pieces which cover an array of musical impressions - from "first
light" to "oh man, the milk man forgot to leave the cream!"
(my impression) Also her "Capricietto" op. 26 - a very heroic declarative piece. HCC composed two groupings of music for the
ballet; the second group op.39, is included in Book Four. Then from her
late compositional period, her
"Am Schloss Kamin" or "Fireside at the Manor" op.70,..six
pieces,... four people are represented, each resident of the house speaks,
each with their own unique voice. Book Four truly is a voyage all in itself. Level of difficulty is from Medium
Advanced.
