Norwegian composer Christian Sinding (1856–1941) wrote Frühlingsrauschen (Rustle of Spring), the third of his Six Pieces, Op. 32, in 1896. With its rippling accompaniment and a soaring melody heard three times before the coda, it became by far his most successful work and defined his reputation – yet in an age of weak copyright protection its enormous popularity brought him little income. Am Spinett, Op. 122 is a light-hearted character piece in the manner of a Baroque pastiche, conjuring up a bewigged player at the keyboard and the tinkling of a music box. Chinese pianist Yanfeng Tony Bai, a prizewinner at the Olga Kern International Piano Competition, performs both pieces, which are also included on his full album of Sinding's piano works (8.574719).
