The ABRSM 'Easier Piano Pieces' series features pieces chosen for their comparative lack of technical difficulty, therefore providing an excellent introduction to the music of great composers throughout history.
Although little known today, Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) was a noted Czech composer of his time, much influenced by Schumann, Liszt and Wagner. Perhaps the most fascinating of his piano works is the extensive collection of 376 highly individual miniatures entitled ‘Moods, Impressions and Souvenirs’, dedicated to his mistress. This album contains 26 of the easier pieces, together with two others.
