Scenes from an Australian Childhood

By Wendy Hiscocks

Regular price $44.00 Sale

7 pieces for solo piano, Grade - L.Mus.

Like Schumann’s set of piano pieces with a similar title, this volume is written from an adult’s perspective. Each scene recalls some aspect of the composer's childhood, with many set in the southern region of New South Wales, Australia. This region, is not the flat, drought-ridden landscape depicted by so many Australian poets and writers, but a country whose flora, fauna and natural weather patterns creates a vibrant and exciting environment.
Composed 1987-2013

Includes CD of all pieces performed by Scott McCarrey
