Phillip Sear plays a passionate nocturne by the German composer Gustav Lange (1830-89). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The German composer Gustav Lange (1830-89) was very popular in the 19th century for ' Blumenlied ' , 'Eidelweiss ' and other salon pieces. Unlike many of his contemporary composers for the parlour and salon who racked up apparently large catalogues of works by giving individual opus numbers to short pieces, Lange was genuinely prolific. For example, his Op. 171 'Lieder Blüthen' is a set of no less than 23 fantasies on popular songs of the day, by composers including Franz Abt, Reichardt and Conradin Kreutzer. This nocturne is very much in the style of Chopin and Field, and is quite unlike most of the other Lange pieces I have uploaded, which feel like arrangements of German folk melodies. It is perhaps not as tragic as one might expect from the title. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
