Nadia Boulanger

Petites Pièces pour Piano

June 1914. Nadia Boulanger is at the height of her composing career, which she pursues alongside her other musical activities - concert performance and teaching - though only a few years later, she will deliberately give it up. Right now, however, she has gone to meet her sister Lili in Rome, where the two young musicians, united by a deep affection, will put their study trip to good use in the gentle Italian spring.

Dated June 5th, these Little Piano Pieces shine with a lighthearted charm - and that's not the least of their appeal. These three sparkling miniatures, published here for the first time, will delight all pianists curious to explore this little-known repertoire.
