Alfred Masterwork Edition.
Composer: Edward MacDowell.
Editor: Maurice Hinson.
Edward MacDowell was one of America's first and most important native-born composers. Smaller piano works have enhanced MacDowell's reputation more than any of his other compositions. He was a miniaturist and his small works are naturally imbued with sparkle and a charming romantic atmosphere. This early collection of piano pieces was written while the MacDowells lived in a small cottage outside of Wiesbaden, Germany. Legends, elves and love of nature permeated these character pieces. "An Elfin Round" or "To a Hummingbird" were selected for the Federation Festivals 2011-2013. Late Intermediate level.
