Phillip Sear plays what could just be an early evocation of a motor-car ride by the German composer Arnoldo Sartorio (1853-1936). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arnoldo Sartorio (1853-1936) was a German composer of Italian ancestry. Born in Frankfurt, he studied and worked in Germany. He wrote very many salon and educational piano pieces, and a contemporary magazine marked his achieving Op. 1000 in 1912 (he later exceeded Op. 1200) http://scriabin.com/etude/1912/09/arnold-sartorio-well-known-composer-reaches-opus-1000.html . As with Czerny some of these high opus numbers are sets of pieces and not individual works, so he was genuinely prolific. The cover art of this fun piece depicts two early motorists on a country lane - whether this was the inspiration for Sartorio's piece or a marketing ploy, I am not sure. I played from a later reprint in the 'Etude' magazine, which has a few differences in expressive markings from the original. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
