Phillip Sear plays an attractive song without words by the French composer Charles Neustedt (1838-1908)

From 12 Feuillets d'Album (second series) (1868)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The French composer Charles Neustedt (1838-1908) seems to have written a few popular gavottes, tyroliennes and operatic fantasies, but I cannot find much information on his life. He was apparently a 'professor' at the Couvent des Oiseaux and College Rollin. The first of these institutions was a famous Parisian gaol of the French revolution, which was turned into a convent in 1824. The second was a private college in the Rue Lhomond. I guess he may have been what we would now call a peripatetic music teacher. He was obviously well regarded, as I have seen several works by other composers dedicated to him. This piece comes from a set of 12 'album leaves' split into two opuses, and each dedicated to a different person. This one was dedicated to one Mlle. Anna Bascans. This could be Anna Bascans (1820-1902) who lived mainly in Algeria, but who could well have known Neustedt in Paris following her early widowhood in 1863.
