Hungarian - Edward MacDowell: Recital work #3

Luke Woolley, Senior piano recital. Wiedemann Hall, WSU. May 2008. Edward Alexander MacDowell (December 18, 1860 - January 23, 1908) was an American composer and pianist from the Romantic period, best known for his second piano concerto and his piano suites "Woodland Sketches", "Sea Pieces", and "New England Idylls". "Woodland Sketches" includes his most popular short piece, "To a Wild Rose". This particular piece, known to some as The Hungarian Etude, was the twelfth of MacDowell's "Twelve Studies", Op. 39 (1890).
