Selim Palmgren: West-Finnish Dance, (Finnish Rhythms, Op 31)

[Bnjolly]

Benno Moiseiwitsch used to play this piece as an encore. Brief and unsophisticated though it may be, I find it quite charming; something about it always brings me back to the happy simplicity of childhood. Your playing is lovely, by the way!

Very nice! I enjoy your playing of these beautiful songs. Do you do a video of opus 31 / no.3? I am trying to learn some of the songs and you play them so well. Thanks!

@supersass10 Thank you.I don't have the set of pieces you mention, alas. Incidentally, I am playing the full set of 'Finnish Rhythms' at a concert in two weeks time.

Are the four previous pieces in this op.31 has also this 'drone-bass' at the left hand all through the piece? It's very nice. Thanks!
