?Having
been considered as a
'fashionable' and
'cliché' composer of his
day, Hahn's compositions
are possibly not as
well-known as they ought
to be. First Waltzes for
Piano, however, shatter
these prejudices held,
representing the engaging
diversity of the
composer's music.
Venezuelan-born Reynaldo
Hahn (1875-1947) entered
the Paris Conservatoire
at 10 years old. He
received a high standard
of musical education from
Decombes, Lavignac,
Dubois and Massenet
before becoming a
prolific and versatile
composer himself, writing
works for all genres. For
Hahn, music was a magical
art and his compositions
often contain expressions
of his otherwise hidden
emotions and moods. With
each of the ten waltzes
in First Waltzes
containing a variety of
different features,
Hahn's compilation
provides pleasant and
evocative pieces for
intermediate
pianists.andrdquo.
