Phillip Sear plays a charming waltz by the French Prix de Rome winner Émile Pessard (1843–1917).

I'm sure that the Parisian composer Émile Louis Fortuné Pessard (1843–1917)—winner of the Prix de Rome in 1866—would wish to be remembered for his operas and church music. However, he seems to live on through one piece—'Andalouse', which remains popular in an arrangement (I think) for flute and piano.  This piece is not particularly 'petite' and has quite a tricky last few bars.  It was dedicated to one of Pessard's pupils.
