Phillip Sear plays an 1876 transcription of an unidentified Danish tune, by the French organist and composer Alfred Lebeau (1835–1906)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Born in Paris, and sometimes known as Alfred Le Beau, Lebeau seems to have two claims to fame today: for his Aubade, Op.35, which is still played ( you can see a video here: http://bit.ly/1S0v4a8 ), and as an exponent of the harmonicorde - a cross between a piano and a harmonium, invented by Alexandre-François Debain in the 1850s.  He wrote some light, but well-written piano pieces.  If anyone can identify the Danish popular tune used in this piece, please let me know!
