Two brief works from a composer new to me, a composer whose children have championed into a biennial festival in The Netherlands featuring past and contemporary female composers:

Very nice.

For a nocturne it is not overly saccharine - with some very slightly-heard dissonance in the chords of the opening section.

Another composer - with a long list of works - who has been relegated to oblivion.
