Phillip Sear plays an unusual short waltz caprice from 1924 by the very obscure Australian composer Hilda Romer Murphy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can find nothing about this composer except that she published three piano pieces between 1921 and 1954. This piece is full of unexpected harmonic shifts - and is made hard to read by the fact that Murphy (who copyrighted her own works) seems to have disliked courtesy accidentals! Her music was published in Sydney, and my thumbnail shows a view of modern Sydney Harbour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
