One of the first American pianists and composers to achieve any degree of international fame, Edward MacDowell was already a brilliant pianist at the age of 16. After a brief period in Paris, he studied composition in 1882 with Joachim Raff in Frankfurt, Germany. While there, MacDowell was also encouraged by Franz Liszt, to whom he dedicated his Piano Concerto No. 1 in A Minor. In 1886 MacDowell completed his second piano concerto. One of the most accomplished and often-performed American works of its time, the Concerto D Minor premiered in New York in early 1889 with the composer himself performing. MacDowell continued to play the concerto both in the United States and abroad — most notably in Paris at a concert devoted to American music. Glittering keyboard displays, surging emotional appeal, and a grand heroic manner characterize these two popular works of the late nineteenth century, created by the preeminent American composer of the era, acclaimed by critic and composer Virgil Thomas as "our nearest to a great master before Charles Ives."

Edward MacDowell (1860–1908) was America's most prominent nineteenth-century composer. Championed by Franz Liszt, he was one of the first U.S. composers to gain international recognition. A leading exponent of the Romantic tradition, he was a prolific composer for the piano. This outstanding collection presents his best, most characteristic works, reprinted from original editions. They include: Woodland Sketches, Op. 51 Sea Pieces, Op. 55 Fireside Tales, Op. 61 New England Idyls, Op. 62 These beautiful and affecting compositions reflect not only MacDowell's poetic Romanticism but also his virtuosic skills as a pianist, which won him an international reputation as a concert artist. Intermediate- and advanced-level pianists will appreciate the lyric intensity and ebullient spirit of these pieces.
