Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) was an American composer whose later works made him the most famous American to contribute to musical Impressionism, the movement associated with French composers such as Debussy. His FANTASY PIECES, Op. 6 for piano includes three works, each preceded by a poem or text: Barcarolle, Notturno, and Scherzo. Reprinted from the original edition, this important music is made available once again.

The three so-called War Sonatas Nos. 6-8 were composed in the years 1939-1944, while Prokofiev was evacuated from Moscow to Kazakhstan and the Caucasus. The reference to the siege of Leningrad was a prerequisite for the success of the compositions, which continue the tradition of Beethoven rather than conforming to the stylistic maxims of 'socialist realism' in force at the time.

The Sonata No. 8 is more introverted than its well-known predecessor Sonata No. 7 and impresses in the final movement with its diversity and echoes of French Impressionism. The work is suitable for advanced pianists.

New and corrected edition 2021! Erkki-Sven Tüür really exploits the potential of the piano in this three-movement sonata for piano (1985). The opening and closing movements are based on flowing, pianistic arpeggios, whereas in the slow middle movement the harmonies are brought out by means of harmonics reinforced an octave higher by the piano's sounding board and pedal. Premiered by Kalle Randalu at the University of Tartu in 1986, the sonata shows traces of minimalism and impressionism.
The new and corrected edition contains an extensive introduction written by Dr. Hando Nahkur, who has also recorded the sonata.
