Théodore Lack (1846-1921) studied and later taught at the Paris Conservatoire. It was his pedagogical "Methode de piano" of 1909 that introduced Debussy's "Le petit negre" to the world. His many salon pieces are all well-crafted and full of interesting details.   Although often paired with a gavotte in baroque dance sequences, a musette is an independent rustic dance, with a drone accompaniment (usually on bagpipes, as evoked in this piece).  This musette was dedicated to one of Lack's pupils, Odette de Lisville.
