On Grainger: If by "the vernacular" you mean "pure Germanic English words unsullied by the language of those darkies down by the Mediterranean," then yes. Louden to the fore!
At least this time, the music plausibly sounds like it was recorded in an era when some old composer would still have been alive. I'm going to say mid-30s from the distortion of the piano's sonority and the surface noise.
As for the musical style, there's quite a bit of counterpoint here, but then some underlying harmonies that get just a dash of bluesy spice.
Pianist-composers alive and recording during that era, hmmm... Aaron Copland? Henry Cowell?
I don't necessarily know why I'm leaning American. Just a hunch, but maybe I should add someone from afar to that list, so perhaps... Mompou?
