Phillip Sear plays a piece with the literal title 'Yearnings and questions' by the German composer Joseph Schad (1812–79).  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Schad was a German composer and pianist who taught at the Geneva Conservatoire, and later (1847) settled in Bordeaux, where one of his piano pupils was the celebrated French flautist and composer Paul Taffanel.  This piece, from the 1840s,  is also known as 'The Sigh' or 'Le soupir'.  The opening reminds me of a late 20th century popular song—but I can't remember the title!
