Porthleven Piano Method - Digital Sheet Music

Porthleven is based on the 1951 painting, of the same name, by Cornish artist Peter Lanyon, which is held in the collection of Tate St. Ives. The artwork is a haphazard abstract representation of the coastal town of Porthleven, near Helston, on the fringe of the Lizard Peninsula. The painting depicts the town's unusual feature of three inter-connected harbours, as well as a cross on a tower, which likely refers to the church. The work is formed in three sections, as a relation to the three harbours. It explores the notion of bell-tones, and even of change-ringing, in reference to the aforementioned church bell tower. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for more advanced pianists, including students and professionals.
