Sergei LYAPUNOV (1859-1924)

INTERMEDIATE

Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Lyapunov is largely remembered for his challenging 12. This set completed the cycle of 24 majorbut had left unfinished. Lyapunov did write some ‘easier’ piano works, such as his Op 59 No 2 (which appeared inside issue 128) and Op 41 No 3 (issue 111).This catchy piece, entitled(‘children’s chatter’) appears within the Six Easy Pieces Op 59 collection. Lyapunov emigrated to Paris in 1923 (and died of a heart attack the following year) – hence most of his pieces bear French titles.
