About the piece

Two nocturnes in the tradition running from Field through Chopin, written by a composer whose gift was for melody above all else. Jensen's piano music sits at the intersection of Schumann's character-piece world and the Chopin nocturne, and its neglect owes more to changing fashion than to any deficiency in the writing.
