Edgar H. Sherwood :Anemone ( A Zephyr Florelet ): Rondo

Lovely. Very American, a little ahead of his time in places I think! A touch of the American 1920s salon to it.

@eoghdes18 Thank you. You are right - it is quite forward looking.

This is very pretty, just what we need to lighten the mood on a grey January morning.

@harryfaber Thank you - I agree!

The outcome teaches us that music can't be bought in the 'academic tower': this composer who was "largely self-taught" (as said in your info.) composed a wonderful piece with careful texture and use of registers. Did I hear some traits of the 'Yodel'? Beautiful and no less elegant performance. Thanks for uploading.

@wolkowy1 Thank you - you did indeed hear the slight 'yodel' effect - Alpine folk music was a great influence on salon music of the time.

Never heard of this composer before. A fact to which I somewhat get use to since I watch your videos. Anyways, I really enjoyed listening to this. Looking forward to the next video :)

@The19thKey Thank you. He is indeed very obscure!
