Phillip Sear plays an attractive 'lullaby of the waves' from 1882 by the Swedish pianist and composer Valborg Aulin (1860-1928). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Laura) Valborg Aulin - sister of the better-known Tor Aulin - studied with local teachers in Stockholm, before travelling (in 1885-7) to Copenhagen and Paris for composition studies with Gade and Benjamin Godard. On returning to Sweden she embarked on a career as piano teacher and performer, as well as composing. You can see a detailed biography here: http://bit.ly/2ayStVw . This piece was written before her travels abroad, and demonstrates her talent and expertise at 22, and also, I think, the influence of Schumann. However, the last few bars (for me) anticipate Rachmaninov's much later song 'Spring Waters'. My thumbnail shows my October 2006 view of waves near the derelict West Pier in Brighton, Sussex. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
