There is no mistaking his idiosyncratic musical voice, his sense of joy of discovery and invention, and spirit of imagination and adventure. Nielsen's complete piano music encompasses the full diversity and range of his creative output. Though he never aspired to brilliance as a performer, Nielsen's piano works are nevertheless marked by his intimate knowledge of the instrument and his awareness of its creative and expressive capabilities. From the symbolist-inspired music of the 1890s to the highly modernist 'Three Pieces', these works constantly attest to the richness of his imaginative vision. Price: $41.98 |
