Phillip Sear plays a piece from 1885 that is curiously described in the score as the first of a set of seven concert studies in Norwegian style. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The composer, conductor, violinist and teacher Carl Venth (1860-1938) was born in Cologne and studied at the conservatory there (with Ferdinand Hiller amongst others). He cut short a remarkable early career as concertmaster and solo violinist in Europe to emigrate to the USA in 1880, where he eventually became one of the leading musicians in Texas, where he combined concertmaster work with teaching and composition (including three operas). Why on earth this piece should be described by its publisher as a concert study I have no idea. It is certainly Norwegian in feel, though (and Venth went on to marry a Norwegian in 1899).
