Résumé :
Excerpt from Twenty-Five Pieces, for Pianoforte: In Two Volumes

Jensen's compositions include twenty-eight sets of songs, twenty-four works for pianoforte solo, with six sets of duets; eight choral works, an opera, Tummz'ot, and one piece for orchestra, The Journey to Emmaus. Of these his songs and his pianoforte pieces are among the most delightful later ?owerings of the romantic school and consti tute his chief title to remembrance All show a spontaneous gift of expressive melody, and an ex quisite sensibility for beauty of tonal effect. His treatment of the pianoforte reveals keen sympathy for and understanding of its idiom his mastery of the lessons inculcated by both Schumann and Chopin. His workmanship is of the utmost refine ment, elegance and fastidious polish. Languorous sentiment, dreamy passion and a delicate sense of humor by turns imbue his music. Strength and sustained power of strenuous utterance were not his; but a genius so graciously endowed Will not soon pass into oblivion.
