Piano Solo, c.2'50.  Advanced grade

Mirrie Hill (1889-1986)

Mirrie Hill contributed greatly to Australian music as a pianist, composer, teacher, and examiner. In her 76 years as a composer, Mirrie wrote approximately 554 compositions, many of which were published. 

In her immense output of piano music, there are several works that stand out as providing a good indication of her style. Although the title ‘miniaturist’ is seen by some as derogatory it is one often applied to Robert Schumann as well as many other notable composers. It can be argued that Schumann’s best and most successful works are those short movements in his larger collections of piano works. 

• More of Hill's works can be found in The Composers' Series, Vol. 10(a)
• Also Intermediate level Volume 10(b)
• Elementary level, Volume 10(c)
