Phillip Sear plays 'Happy times on the Alm' - the third of a set of three piano pieces from 1869 by the Prussian composer Albert Jungmann (1824-92). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jungmann (1824-92) was Prussian born, but spent most of his working life in Rome and Vienna. 'Heimweh' (Dreams of Home), Op. 117, from 1858, which I videoed in 2008 is perhaps his best-known work. This fun piece is one of the best works of him that I have so far found. I am not sure whether Jungmann is referring to the Alm river in Upper Austria - or whether he is using the term Alm to mean 'high Alpine pasture'. I suspect that latter, as Elgar specifically used this meaning of the word in his own 'On the Alm' in his choral work 'From the Bavarian Highlands'. The piece certainly has an Alpine feel about it! My thumbnail shows a detail from a very appropriate painting: Adolf Eberle's 'Musikalische Unterhaltung auf der Alm' (Musical entertainment on the Alm) - you can see the full picture at http://bit.ly/2vfagfQ . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
