Piano SKU: HL.281563
Piano. Composed by Stephen Reynolds. Music Sales America. Classical. Softcover. Cadenza Music #CAZSRHFD01. Published by Cadenza Music (HL.281563). Stephen Reynolds has been heard as pianist and composer in concerts and broadcasts across Europe and the United States. He is currently on the faculty of his alma mater, the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. This set of pieces were originally written in the 1980s as a diversion from the more serious and experimental music he was writing at the time. He talks of wanting to invade and absorb the sound-world of Delius, one of his favourite composer, and to use his musical language to create works of his own. The Delius-inspired pieces are especially welcome since that composer wrote very little for the piano. In both of the sets a longer, more substantial piece is prefaced by a shorter one in a related key.
