Phillip Sear plays a romance—somewhat in the style of Schumann—from 1899 by the German composer Bruno Wandelt (1856–1933).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know little about the German composer Bruno Wandelt (1856-1933) other that he was born in Breslau, and studied in Berlin and Kiel.  In 1899, he founded (I think) a private music school in Dessau, and was certainly director of it in 1918.  He is best-remembered for some sets of educational piano pieces, and also wrote some songs and worked as an arranger (eg, a 4-hand arrangement of Rubinstein's famous 'Valse-Caprice').  Although this piece starts rather generically, it has an attractive faster middle section, and a wistful ending.
