Phillip Sear plays a 'mood piece' by the Danish composer Victor Bendix (1851-1926).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor Bendix (1851-1926) was one of the leading Danish composers and pianists of the late 19th century.  He studied in Copenhagen with Gade, and was a friend of Carl Nielsen.  He wrote several symphonies and played through a duet arrangement of one of them with Liszt in Weimar.  Although there are currently recordings available of his symphonies, piano concerto, sonatas, songs and other music, he is not exactly a household name today.  In his lifetime his reputation was eclipsed by that of the more modernist Nielsen.  Also he may have suffered some institutional rejection owing to his scandalous private life - inter alia, he was the father of the famous Danish pianist Victor Schiøler (1899-1967), whose mother (a piano pupil) apparently asked him to father a child by her in secret, and then demanded at gunpoint that he acknowledge the child.  This piece comes from a set probably written between 1875 and 1880, and dedicated to the German pianist and composer Hermann Scholtz (1845-1918).
