Twelve Sketches, Op.47 9781854723642 upc 9781854723642
The works of Russian conductor, pianist and composer Reinhold Gliere (1875-1956) were much influenced by 19th-century Russian romantic tradition. These fascinating sketches vary considerably in style, from a serene chorale-like work to an agitato piece full of chromatic detail. Most are gentle romantic works coloured with subtle harmonic touches.
