Overview

Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 - 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher. He read composition while at the Royal Academy of Music under Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren. This volume contains his Five Cameos for Miniature Players, Op. 29 , a collection of musical scores for solo piano. The compositions include: Distant Horns , Missing , Dancing , Pranks , and Impetuosity . These compositions will appeal to those with an interest in earl piano music and are not to be missed by fans of Matthay's seminal work. Other notable works by this author include: The Act Of Touch In All Its Diversity: An Analysis And Synthesis Of Pianoforte Tone Production (1903), The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905) and Relaxation Studies (1908). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
