The Scottish composer Charles O'Brien (1882-1968) studied composition under Hamish MacCunn, the composer of the Overture 'The Land of the Mountain and the Flood'. O'Brien produced a considerable amount of orchestral, chamber and piano music. 'Barcarolle' is one of a suite of four pieces originally written for small orchestra in 1904: this version for piano, with the composer's own fingering, was made not long before his death.
