#3 from 4 Klavierstücke (1894)
----------------------------------
The German composer Ignaz Lachner (1807-95) was a member of a musical family - his composer-brothers Franz and Vincenz, and half-sisters Thekla and Christiane were also musicians.  An associate of Schubert in his youth, he lived long enough to know Brahms.  Ignaz Lachner is best-known for his chamber music, including a set of six trios for violin, viola and piano, which have been recorded.  I recorded the first and last of this set some time ago.  Lachner's piano writing can be relentless, but this piece is a fairly gentle gondola ride, with a few stormy ripples disturbing the waters in the middle of the piece.
