Edward MacDowell by John F. Porte
page 48 of 159 (30%)
OPUS 20. THREE POEMS, FOR PIANOFORTE DUET.

_Composed, Winter_, 1884-5. _First Published_, 1886 (J.
Hainauer).

1. _Nights at Sea._

2. _Tale of the Knights._

3. _Ballade._

Like the _Forest Idyls, Op. 19_, these pieces have a definite
poetic basis, but are conceived in a manner that only slightly
suggests the individuality of the composer. They are quite
musical and well written for a pianoforte duet, but lack the
sustained interest one expects to find in MacDowell's work.



OPUS 21. MOON PICTURES AFTER HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, FOR
PIANOFORTE DUET.

_Composed, Winter_, 1884-5. _First Published_, 1886 (J.
Hainauer).

1. _The Hindoo Maiden._

2. _Stork's Story._

3. _In Tyrol._
