(On brown slopes) Phillip Sear plays a typically south German-sounding idylle by Gustav Lange (1830-89). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The German composer Gustav Lange (1830-89) was very popular in the 19th century for ' Blumenlied ' , 'Eidelweiss ' and other salon pieces. Unlike many of his contemporary composers for the parlour and salon who racked up apparently large catalogues of works by giving individual opus numbers to short pieces, Lange was genuinely prolific. For example, his Op. 171 'Lieder Blüthen' is a set of no less than 23 fantasies on popular songs of the day, by composers including Franz Abt, Reichardt and Conradin Kreutzer. The title of this piece, published in 1886, is translated by its editors to English as 'On the meadows' (maybe to sell it!), but, I would imagine that, from the literal translation, that it has an Alpine setting. My thumbnail is based on a photo of 'High Mountain Slopes full of Fog' by George Dyball from https://tinyurl.com/y7qpo65w . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
