Phillip Sear plays an 'Air à danser style Louis XV' (dance tune in the style of the period of Louis XV) from 1879 by Auguste Werner (1841-1900). ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure of the nationality of Auguste (sometimes August) Werner (1841-1900) but he was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and later in life taught at the Geneva Conservatoire. He does not seem to have been a prolific composer, and wrote a few light piano pieces, as well as a Christmas-themed organ fantasia 'The Apparition before the Shepherds'. This attractive piece from 1879 has a charming central section where the melody is written mostly in mordents.
