-----------------------------------------------------------------
The long-lived German composer Franz Lachner (1803-90) was from a family of musicians: his brothers Ignaz and Vincenz were also composers.  Franz L studied music in Vienna, and one of his teachers there was Maximilian Stadler, a long-lived friend of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.  Franz L wrote in many genres: opera, orchestral works (several suites), and chamber music.  Although the set of pieces from which this piece comes was published around 1860, it is unsurprisingly conservative in idiom and harks back to Schubert and Mendelssohn.  Lachner astutely dedicated the set to Betty Schott, wife of Franz Schott (1811-74), the then owner of, and grandson of the founder of what is now Schott Music - publisher of the work.
