Phillip Sear plays a short piece from an early set of 'Poetical Studies' by the British composer, Alec Rowley (1892-1958) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alec Rowley (1892-1958)—who died while playing tennis—is best known today for his educational pieces and songs. His piano music is stylistically similar to that of York Bowen, but some also shows expressionist tendencies and is harmonically more sophisticated than Bowen's work. Although Op. 41, this set was actually published in 1920, so is quite an early work, and is harmonically straightforward. Some might even find this set rather anaemic, but some of the pieces probably deserves an airing!
