Gliere | Eight Easy Pieces, Op. 43 (Grades 4-6)

The Soviet composer Glière (1875-1956) was very much influenced by the 19th-century Russian romantic tradition. As the short pieces in this album demonstrate, he was particularly skilful at expressing a melody in simple and direct terms while at the same time creating a colourful and romantic picture. This book is part of ABRSM’s Easier Piano Pieces series.
