My double-postings seem to be amazingly successful...
Here is what I intended to post yesterday:
Ewald STRAESSER
Rhapsodie C-Dur op. 21 Nr. 2
The better one of the twins, imho. Extremely "fluent" piano style, reminiscent of Grieg, Niemann and Bowen.
Straesser Rhapsodie op.21,2.pdf
Gabriel PIERNE (1863-1937)
La Croisade des Enfants, Prelude de la 2e Partie arr. piano solo (popular work of this French composer, whose style might be described as post-Saint-Saens or pre-impressionistic)
Pierne La Croisade des Enfants Prelude.pdf

Yes indeed, you really do have the magic touch!
I wish I knew the secret to getting thank-you's.

Karl HOYER (1891-1936; German organist and composer, pupil of Reger, Straube, Teichmüller a.o.)
Drei kleine Sonaten (best Reger school, influenced - of course - by Reger's Sonatinen)
Hoyer 3 kleine Sonaten op.18.pdf
Posted as an example of the - hardly known - piano compositions of this fine Dutch pianist:
Cor de GROOT
Sonatine (effective piano writing, mildly contemporary style,
recommended!)

Roger QUILTER (British composer, 1877-1953, mainly known for his songs)
Three pieces op. 16:
Dance in the Twilight
Summer Evening
At a Country Fair (dedicated to Leo Ornstein!)
Good, harmonically refined pieces, influenced by Bridge and Ireland
Quilter 3 Pieces op.16.pdf
Tobias MATTHAY
On Surrey Hills op. 30 (fairly easy, but also fairly refined pieces, composed in 1919 at High Marley, M.'s idyllic country home)
Matthay On Surrey Hills op.30.pdf
Parts of M.'s major work "The Act of Touch" have been translated into German and have influenced pianists like Conrad Hansen, whose "Matthayan" pianistic credo of touch was: "nicht drücken, nicht stoßen, nicht schlagen" ("never press, never push, never beat the key"). He also often spoke of M.'s term "added impetus" which got the correct but somewhat funny German translation "hinzugefügte Triebkraft".

Dear Fred,
thank you for this rarity. The date probably should be read as "1956" - de Groot was born in 1914!
