Phillip Sear plays an evocation of a sad evening by the Serbian  composer Miloje Milojević ( Милоје Милојевић )(1884–1946). It comes from a set of four pieces written in 1917.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Serbian composer Miloje Milojević (or Miloïe Miloievitch ) was born (and died) in Belgrade.  He studied music in Belgrade and later in Munich, but his studies were interrupted by military service in the Serbian Army during World War 1.  After this, he spent two years in Paris, working as a diplomat, and then returned to Belgrade where he resumed his musical career, as a composer, conductor, and teacher.  For much more information on his work, see his Wikipedia page: http://bit.ly/2iRAOOf   This set of piano pieces was published in 1921 under the auspices of the League of Serbian, Croatian, and Slovene Universities in Paris—but actually written in 1917.  The style is difficult to categorize, but the piano writing is reminiscent of Granados, but with a distinctly eastern European feel.
