American Intimates: Music for Private Pleasure features American music intended for performance by home amateurs or broadcast in the early days of radio. In addition to some spectacular music for duo piano,
contemplative character pieces for the antique American reed organ, and
African-American composer William Grant Still's song cycle, “From the
Hearts of Women”, MELODEON presents
songs and piano music by Dana Suesse, who was called “The Girl
Gershwin”. Like Gershwin, Suesse wrote successful music that bridged
the divide between pop and classical culture, but she dropped out of
public awareness after the Second World War. A folio of her music was
just re-published by Dover Press.
