Phillip Sear plays a piano transcription by Boyton Smith - probably from the mid 1890s - of a once-popular Victorian ballad by Lindsay Lennox. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Frederick William) Boyton Smith (1837-1911) was the elder brother of the well-known English composer of salon piano music, Sydney Smith. Boyton specialized in church music, and in his later years was an organist in Dorchester, Dorset, where he was born, and where he also took over a music school formerly run by his father. He wrote some salon music, including some skilful transcriptions of popular songs of his day. He had a real gift for incorporating a variety of piano figurations into his transcriptions without labouring any of them, so his music is always fun to play. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
