Title: Percy Hilder Miles
Post by: eschiss1 on Friday 07 January 2011, 02:00
2 works by Percy Hilder Miles (1878-1922, dates I had a difficult time finding out btw :) ) (friend of Lionel Tertis; infamously the teacher of Rebecca Helferich Clarke whose advances on her may have led to her father taking her out of the RAM) - have been uploaded in score or parts and in recording to IMSLP - three fantasy pieces for string quartet (1902) and a string sextet in G minor with double bass (published 1920). (Performances by Steve's Bedroom Band. I've heard that of the fantasy pieces - good! - and will be listening to that of the sextet, uploaded today, very soon.)

At least 2 albums of chamber music by this unsung composer are now available and are well worth hearing.

Discussions of these latter recordings should be probably put in the thread here (https://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,8624), I think, not in my old 2011 one, yes?

Edit: (or maybe this one (https://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,8505.msg88551.html), though it's 4 year old.)
