The remarkable pianist Harriet Cohen (1895 - 1967) was a vital presence in the British classical music scene during the 20s, 30s and 40s. Her memoire, A Bundle of Time, reveals a close involvement with the music of the then contemporary composers, especially Arnold Bax (1883 - 1953). She introduced audiences here to the work of contemporary British, European and Russian composers, also taking the music of British composers to Europe and America. In this course, we will discuss aspects of the British music of the period 1900 - 1950, such as that of Elgar, Bantock, Bax, Bridge, Moeran, Bliss, Vaughan Williams and Walton. We will also consider Harriet Cohen's much praised performances of Bach, her revival of keyboard music from the Elizabethan period, and her connections with the literary, musical and political figures of her time. The discussion will be as free from technical terminology as possible.
