Title

Manuscript for ‘Train Music’ by
Percy Grainger, 1901–07

Description

Grainger was a compositional radical, a fact that
was not well known to a public accustomed to
compositions like ‘Country Gardens’. ‘Train Music’
shows Grainger’s experimentation with irregular
metres. His note at the top indicates that the
rhythms were suggested by the jerky movement
of an Italian train.
