With this first book of her piano music, Helen C. Crane (1868 - 1930)
makes her 21st century debut. Her piano music gives a unique insight into her
marvelous talent and reveals a heretofore unheard American strain: the unique
marriage of Helen Crane's American taste and sensibilities and her German
conservatory training. It is apparent upon playing and/or listening to her
music that here was fertile ground for the blossoming of all manner of future
American music styles, from music for the cinema to jazz and unique styles of
George Gershwin and perhaps Irving Berlin. This particular book includes 4 or
her Miniature Sketches (2 to 3 page recital pieces), selections from her
extended work "Enchanted Garden"
op.49, also "Albumblatt" (1896) and the first of her Four Sonnets
for Pianoforte. An excellent sampling
of the work of this American treasure.
