At times Ebay will offer wonderful treasures that must be purchased! Two weeks ago Gena Branscombe's original published piano suite "In a Fairy Garden" appeared for sale. Dedicated to her oldest daughter, Gena Tenney, who in 1915 was a four year old when Arthur P. Schmidt Company released it for sale. Obviously Gena knew her daughter's pianistic abilities when she composed these pieces.
Fast forward 110 years to 2025 when Eleanor Gummer of One Eye Publications in Whitby, Ontario republished "In a Fairy Garden" with a colorful fairy cover appealing to children and adult piano students. With many thanks to Eleanor Gummer for her dedication to publishing Gena Branscombe's music in the 21st century.
Over 100 years ago these piano pieces were charming and appropriate for young children or adults learning to play piano. The same holds true today. Music crosses the path of time to reach the depths of our souls.
