Phillip Sear plays a brilliant short study from a 1906 set of ten by the German composer and pianist Adolf Ruthardt (1849-1934).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The German composer and pianist Adolf Ruthardt (1849-1934) is remembered today mainly as an editor of piano works by Bach and others. He was born in, and died in Stuttgart, and studied at the conservatory there, but later lived and worked in Geneva and Leipzig, where he was a professor at the conservatory for many years. His piano works are well worth looking at, and he seems to have been most inspired as a composer of études, and also pieces inspired by Bach (e.g., his 15 Preludes Op. 42).  The set from which this comes is similar in scope to the popular Moszkowski Op. 72 set of studies, and deserves to be played more!

PS apologies for the slightly blurry video here - there seems to have been a reflection on the camera lens.
