Three Melodies for Piano, Op.21

Hans Huber was a Swiss Romantic composer, primarily influenced by Liszt, Brahms, and Schumann. Like his foregoers, he composed in a broad range of works – from operas and symphonies to piano concertos. And the same as Franz Liszt, who had been ignoring formal rules and composed a single-movement concerto, Huber had his own vision how many movements should they have. In his opinion, four was optimal. Also he was a chorister and a pianist. You can find a cycle of Huber's earlier works here: Three Melodies for Piano, Op.21
