About the piece
Alpine Glow, named for the reddish light that falls on mountain peaks at sunrise and sunset, a phenomenon that fascinated a century increasingly given to alpine tourism and romantic landscape.
Titles of this kind sold music. A purchaser browsing a shop was buying a mood and a picture along with the notes, and publishers and composers understood the transaction perfectly.
