The French (Alsatian) composer Léon Boëllmann (1862 -- 1897) is remembered today as a composer for the organ - and in particular, the 'Suite gothique'. He was a protégé of Eugène Gigout, who 'adopted' him, and assumed responsibility for his orphaned children after Boëllmann's early death (and that of his wife). Boëllmann wrote a few piano pieces, which are all worth looking at.  This piece comes from a set of ten 'pièces brèves' published in 1895.
