Phillip Sear plays a short fun piece by the British composer Montague Ewing ( (1890-1957). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #3 from 'Silhouettes: 1st selection' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Montague Ewing (1890-1957) - sometimes also known as Sherman Myers - was a British composer of light music, particularly famous for his 1911 one-step 'The Policeman's Holiday'. He wrote many pieces with descriptive titles. Ewing actually published six 'selections' of 'Silhouettes', and at the time of uploading this video I just had one of them. Of the pieces in the set, three were written and published in 1916 and two added in 1921. I presume that the sort of comedy Ewing is evoking here is music hall or vaudeville. My thumbnail shows a colourized 1916 photo of the once-popular stage comedian Eddie Foy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
