#5 from 'Nordic Sketches', Op 7 (1913) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The long-lived Norwegian pianist, composer and music critic, Trygve Torjussen (1885-1977) studied in Oslo, Stuttgart and Rome. In the UK he was marketed as a successor to Grieg, but he does not seem have achieved enduring popularity here. Although the harmony of this piece is fairly traditional, the clean modern feel reminds me of some of the shorter light pieces of Shostakovich. My thumbnail features a detail from 'The Nymph Callisto' (1899) by E.R. Hughes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
