Phillip Sear plays a quirky and dramatic piece by the French composer and critic Adolphe Botte (1823-93). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The French composer Adolphe Botte (1823-93) trained (from 1837) as a pianist at the Paris Conservatoire under Pierre Zimmerman. He composed piano music and songs, but is best known as a critic for the 'Revue et gazette musicale de Paris' from 1858-65. You can read more about him here: https://tinyurl.com/yyn9kzwy . This short piece, with an innocuous title, packs a surprising amount of drama and contrast (maybe too much). My thumbnail shows the Convent of the Birds, where Botte taught in the 1860s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
