ARTHUR FARWELL

Readers will recall that #42 featured an essay by Brice Farwell about the music of his father, Arthur Farwell, who was strongly influenced by Blake. A recent issue of the Musical Heritage Review (3 July 1978) announced the release of a new recording of Farwell’s Piano Quintet in E minor, Op. 103.

ARTHUR FARWELL (1872-1952) Piano Quintet in E Minor, Op. 103 new release 32 minutes to 34 Quintet 1. Arthur Farwell Op. 103. Broad.

In keeping with the Society’s philosophy of bringing to light worthwhile music in outstanding performances, we excitedly release this attractive chamber work of another strangely neglected American, the talented Arthur Farwell, who established the now-famous Wa-Wan Press and contributed so much to our culture.
