Hummel; arr. Dominique Piana, Fantasie-Impromptu Op. 23
Ferdinand Hummel (1855-1928) if often confused for the famous Hummel who was a student of Mozart's. A later composer, Ferdinand Hummel started his musical career as an accomplished harpist, then became a successful conductor and opera composer in the German equivalent of Italian verismo style.
The Fantasie- Impromptu is typically German in technique and character. This can be heard in the affable repetitive rhythmic pattern of the main theme, somewhat square but flowing, reminiscent of the mood of the serenade and similar to Lieder accompaniments.
For the advanced pedal harpist.
