Phillip Sear plays a lively, shanty-like piece from a set of '50 études mélodiques'' by the French composer Henri Bertini ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The French pianist and composer Henri Bertini (1798-1876) began his career as a child prodigy, and later duetted with Liszt, but made his name as a teacher and composer of around 500 studies. This fascinating piece comes from a set of 50 studies, published in 1843, and dedicated to "Madame Mongolfier". This is almost certainly a mis-spelt dedication to Jenny Montgolfier (c1790-1879), a friend of Liszt, champion of Stephen Heller, and piano teacher in Lyons. The piece seems to depict the lively activities about a contemporary sailing ship.
