Hans von Bülow wrote a substantial number of solo piano pieces, songs, chamber works and choral music. He very rarely featured his own music in his programmes, either as pianist or conductor; when questioned on this, his uncharacteristically modest response was that ‘others have written much better things than mine’. Ultimately, he forfeited his own career as a creative artist to focus on authentic and dedicated interpretations of the works of others.

His piano works are as technically challenging as one might expect, yet the finest of them also require a light touch and a degree of sensitivity and depth of feeling that demands from the performer something beyond mere bravura. Their virtuosity suggests the manner of Liszt and their melodic fluency, harmonic invention and formal command are the result of a versatile musician of the highest order.
