Par HOLLINS ALFRED. Hollins was a composer of organ music but also a virtuoso pianist and organist, despite being blind from birth. The piece is light in style, as its name suggests, but requires a fairly good manual technique and neat pedalling.

In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled…
