About

Volume four of the Piano Music series traces Raff from youth to maturity.

Douze Romances en forme d’études, Op. 8 was written when he was just 21 and unsure whether to commit himself to fulltime composition.

Mendelssohn was so impressed by the set of charming character pieces that he recommended them to his own publisher.

The much later 1871 La Cicerenella – Nouveau Carnaval, Op. 165 is a set of virtuoso variations, whilst the Two Pieces, Op. 166 offer both charm and melodic distinction.
