Water Sprites – Carroll, Walter

Description

Walter Carroll was the Beatrix Potter of learner piano music and his use of music, poetry and art in his now classic albums have appealed to successive generations of children. As a result they are still widely used on exam syllabi and by teachers around the world nearly a century after they were written. First published in 1923, Water Sprites is an album of imaginative pieces for recital by players of grade 4-5 standard, and includes Carroll’s notes and suggestions for performance.
