Louden Hugely: The Piano Music of Percy Grainger

Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882-1961) was an Australian pianist and composer.

However, Grainger left a vast quantity of highly idiomatic and meritorious piano music which deserves greater acceptance. To this end, this paper makes a survey of Grainger\u27s output for piano, to show the merit of his music and prove that it remains relevant even today
