Phillip Sear plays a rustic-themed piece by the French composer Victor Dolmetsch (1852-1904) ----------------------------------------------------------------- #9 from 15 Pièces, Op.3 (1880) ----------------------------------------------------------------- I have not been able to uncover much information about Victor Dolmetsch, a French pianist and composer. However, it appears that he studied piano at the Paris Conservatoire with Antoine Marmontel and later taught there himself. Dolmetsch is credited with composing a violin concerto and writing music reviews for 'Le Ménéstral', a French musical periodical. I cannot confirm whether he is related to the renowned early music advocate Arnold Dolmetsch. This attractive piece, apparently based on a theme from Languedoc, is dedicated (as was so much other French salon music of the period) to Antoine Marmontel, long-serving professor of piano at the Paris Conservatoire. Languedoc is a region in the south of France known for its historic cities, vineyards, and Mediterranean coastline.
