Composer:
Sir Arnold Bax

Artist(s):
Ashley Wass

Background: Although best known for symphonic poems such as Tintagel, Bax also wrote prolifically for the piano, his instrument from the first. While the four large-scale piano sonatas are the backbone of Bax's piano music, there is also a varied repertoire of shorter pieces.

These include highly atmospheric miniatures (some not quite so miniature), many of them technically in the shadow of Debussy or Scriabin. Among these is a succession of pieces written for the eighteen-year-old Harriet Cohen, the intoxicating The Princess's Rose Garden and The Maiden with the Daffodil, (its score marked 'fresh and innocent' by the composer), and Mountain Mood, a melody with variations.
