Such is indicated by the opus number. At that time he was giving opus numbers to works in chronological order of composition. This set is dedicated to Auguste Auspitz-Kolár, a pianist whom Zelenski could have met on …

Par HAMELIN MARC-ANDRE. Marc-André Hamelin’s Suite à l’ancienne is, as the title might suggest, a Baroque-style suite in six movements, each with the unmistakable wit and virtuosity that characterizes Hamelin’s compositions. Hamelin’s Praémbule takes J. S. Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy as the jumping off point for a wild flight of fancy followed by, the deceptively amiable amble of the Allemende, the …
