Complete Nocturnes

Description

Piano — Since the composition of Nocturne No. 1 in 1986, Liebermann has added ten more that are destined to become staples of the piano repertoire. Theodore Presser Company now publishes all eleven Nocturnes as a complete collection in a handsome volume. "Liebermann's contributions to the repertoire are at turns magical, poetic, shimmering, and ethereal; these dream-like qualities contrast with a sense of uneasiness that perhaps hints at a pervasive sadness and an underlying diabolical, nightmarish quality - a juxtaposition achieved by the distinctive harmonic palette that characterizes his music." -- Ann DuHamel, University of Minnesota-Morris
