Publisher's Synopsis
"Moods of a Moment, Op. 11" is a composition for solo piano or pianoforte in 10 movements by Tobias Matthay. Presented clearly and containing enough space for notes or annotations, this volume is perfect for students and is not to be missed by serious players with a love of Matthay's beautiful work. Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 - 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher. He was taught composition while at the Royal Academy of Music by Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren. Other notable works by this author include: "The Act Of Touch In All Its Diversity: An Analysis And Synthesis Of Pianoforte Tone Production" (1903), "The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905)" and "Relaxation Studies" (1908). This classic composition is highly recommended for those with an interest in vintage piano music, and it would make for a worthy addition to allied collections. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
