Phillip Sear plays an 'old Viennese round dance' by the Czech composer Roderich Bass (1873-1933).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Czech composer and pianist Roderich Bass (1873-1933) spent much of his working life in Vienna (as teacher and performer) and was noted for always wearing a yachting cap. He wrote in various genres, but is mainly remembered for songs and light piano pieces.  This piece comes from a set published in 1912 and dedicated to the aged Maria Caroline ("Marie Rainer") Archduchess of Austria (1825 - 1915).  The piece harks back to the Viennese dances of Mozart and Schubert, which would presumably have been familiar to the Archduchess in her youth.
