....o Sonnenschein, wie scheinst du mir ins Herz hinein (O sunshine, o sunshine!  How you shine into my heart)

Phillip Sear plays an easy-going salon piece from 1872 which evokes the joy of sunshine contrasted with the pain of forsaken love.  It is by the German composer Heinrich Lichner (1829-98)
--------------------------------------------------------------
The German composer, conductor and organist Heinrich Lichner (1829-98) is best remembered for sonatinas and other teaching music for piano, some of which is still used today, especially in Japan and Korea (I believe).  His other work is less well known. 

The title of this piece is taken from an 1844 poem 'An den Sonnenschein' by the German poet Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852) - which is kept alive today in vocal settings by Schumann and Delius.
