Pianophilia

Somewhat earlier in this thread we had some pieces by Harry Farjeon.
I am posting 10 Tunes Without Tales by him now. These are easy, but make useful teaching pieces.

Peter:

Excellent teaching pieces,

Thanks.

Dear ilu,
You are most welcome. Glad you like them.

Peter

I am very interested in Harry Farjeon’s piano pieces.

As far as I know, these are piano scores:

• Introduction and fugue, E minor
• The Ballet of the Trees
• From the Three-Cornered Kingdom
• The Four Winds
• Peter Pan Sketches
• Tone-Pictures (four books)
• Twilight Pieces
• Venetian Idylls

Any new post will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Some more teaching pieces.

These are from the same book.

What did Alkan, Chopin, Dvorak, Fauré, and Gurney (but not Balakirev or Field)
all have in common? 'Easy', I hear you say, 'they all wrote a Nocturne in B major,
Dvorak's being orchestral.' Correct, of course, but did anyone else write a Nocturne
in B major for piano, I wonder? Maybe someone else whose name also starts with
a musical letter, perhaps. Answers on a postcard please.....

Sorry Tim, the system doesn't allow postcard uploads. The first three bars of the piece in question, however, do show a distinct similarity to the first three bars of the Nocturne in F (Cradle Song) by a certain Irish composer whose name escapes me and is probably not strictly from the British Isles anyway.

Fred

Thalberg Op.51bis

Thank you, excellent spot! But did Bax also write one in his early years?
