Amy Beach - Scottish Legend Op. 54

Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (September 5, 1867 – December 27, 1944) was an American composer and pianist. She was the first successful American female composer of large-scale art music. She was one of the first American composers to succeed without the benefit of European training, and one of the most respected and acclaimed American composers of her era. As a pianist, she was acclaimed for concerts she gave featuring her own music in the United States and in Germany. This piece was composed in 1903. (Wikipedia) I missed the “Amy Beach Day“ by about a month :( And i will probably record the “Gavotte Fantastique“ (of the same opus), which is more challenging, sometimes soon.
