Here is a short piece by the remarkable French polymath Hippolyte Barbedette (1827-1901). Not only was he a composer (of at least 150 works), but also an author of biographies of many contemporary and earlier musicians: Weber, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Gluck and Heller (his friend) to name but some. He also reviewed concerts for the press until his final years. On top of all this, he was a magistrate and politician, becoming senator for Charente-Maritime in his later years. The Mendelssohn songs without words seem to be the inspiration for this piece. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
