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.
The works of the Russian conductor, pianist and composer Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) were much influenced by the 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, however, are gentle romantic works coloured with subtle harmonic touches.
