Description :
The unacquainted listener, upon hearing a piece from the Hahn piano repertoire, is often surprised by its powerful charm - a testament to the composer'
s unique musical sensibility. Although some of Hahn'
s musical ideas have roots in the long tradition of Romanticism, they also present a host of new images, scarcely seen in earlier scores
Each piece in this collection is based on a single formula that varies little from start to finish. An exception to this unique principle occurs in the IInd piece, where the young woman takes fright at the "
flaming red eye of the setting sun watching her through the branches”. As a conclusion, Reynaldo Hahn offers a "
very free” cadence that takes up and comments on the initial theme: the crackling notes culminate in a fortissimo blaze, rapidly followed by a progressive lull that slowly fades away.
