Music composed/dedicated for a daughter
on: January 06, 2012, 07:36:18 PM
A query -

Who knows of solo piano music written for a composer's daughter?  My first thoughts are of course to the Debussy Children's Corner Suite and the Dallapiccola Quaderno Musicale di Annalibera.  Help me find others, please.

Thanks.

Montsalvatge, Sonatine pour Yvette (if memory serves...) -- lovely piece of music by the way.

Nice topic! I'm curious what it will turn up.

Could it be that (piano)composers are not the typical "family" type of person (yet ?).   When I think about it (and I have most probably a way of thinking ::)) I find an absence of familylife, or a failure in family life :-\
Only three finds yet, a little far-fetched one, a rather obscure one and another 'jazz' one (often played in a double-bass and drums-trio)...

Leos JANACEK - The first piano-reduction of his opera "Jenufa"
Jose ITURBI - "Cancion di Cuna" and "Pequena Danza Espanola"
Jacky TERRASSON - "Baby Plum"

Kind greetings.

Thanks to both of you.  I look forward to discovering these pieces.  I am familiar with none of them.  Do you know if they are recorded, and if scores are redily available?
