Robert Pye must have the distinction of being Ireland’s most prolific study composer. Though sadly I have little information on the man, my research has shown that he has composed at least 19 studies. Some may be familiar with his series on “STUDIES” in the ICJ in 1991. In one article Robert stated that “A composed study is thus an attempt to express a particular idea in the most economical way”. For your enjoyment I present below seven of his studies.
After playing through the above selection you have to agree that based on his own criteria Robert has certainly achieved his aim. The mind boggles at the effort required to compose these studies.
If anyone has more information on Robert Pye please contact me.
