They were composed during 1920-1970, and now for the first time, the collection can be appreciated in its entirety. The premise of the book is that the piano works are sophisticated compositions and that as a collection they form an ambitious and diverse repertoire that belongs to the piano literature of the northern European and Scandinavian countries. To support this, I evaluate �s�lfsson's collection in a larger perspective that entails comparing it with similar works by other composers; furthermore, information as to the style and standing of his piano works in his native country, Iceland, is presented with the aid of a questionnaire and a list of representative works by a selection of his contemporaries; finally, the collective reception history of �s�lfsson's piano works is discussed both in light of the anti-Romantic sentiment in Iceland's music circles around the middle of the twentieth century and subsequently with regard to published reviews about performances of the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAP Lambert Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883623071895,"sku":"9786209861710","price":11041.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209861710.webp?v=1781102918","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-piano-works-of-pall-isolfsson-1893-1974-a-diverse-collection-9786209861710","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
