Phillip Sear plays a 'morceau de genre' by the short-lived French composer and music critic (Pierre) Octave Fouqué (1844–83). -------------------------------------------------- Fouqué was born and received his early musical education in the Pyrenean town of Pau, and later went to the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied composition under Ambroise Thomas. After an unsuccessful attempt to win the Prix de Rome, he turned to music criticism, and at the end of his life was working in the library at the Conservatoire. He wrote very little music - a list of his works can be found here: http://bit.ly/1SyQ77c . This interesting piece was dedicated to Charles de Coutouly (1847–1911) a French diplomat and friend of the composer from Pau.
