Phillip Sear plays a polished and interesting waltz from 1897 - unusually marked as 'tempo di mazurka' - by the obscure German(?) composer Carl Kämmerer.

Alas, all I know about Carl (or Karl) Kämmerer is that he seems to have been active as a composer in the late 19th and early-20th century, and that he may have been a court musician in Sondershausen, Thuringia.  He published one or two pieces of chamber music (including a piano trio), and - on the evidence of this piece - was a skilled composer.
