Phillip Sear plays two Schumannesque idylls (both marked 'Andante')by the Latvian-born composer Woldemar Sacks (c1868—1929) --------------------------------------------------------- I know very little about Sacks except that he was born in Riga, and seems to have been active in Berlin at the turn of the 19th century, where he was instrumental in setting up a musicians' co-operative. He wrote songs and piano pieces, and also prepared piano reductions of stage works. I mentioned Schumann, but the second of these two short pieces seems to take its cue from the opening of Beethoven's sonata Op. 31 No. 3.
