#3 from 'Abendbilder' (Evening pictures), 4 Clavierstücke, Op.74 --------------------------------------------------------- Gustav Merkel (1827-1885) studied piano with Schumann's father-in-law, Friedrich Wieck, but was primarily known as an organist, and much of his music is for the organ. He spent most of his career in Dresden, where, though a Lutheran, he became organist at the Catholic Hofkirche. Merkel's music reminds me of the work of Neils Gade—both composers being greatly influenced by Schumann and Mendelssohn. The set from which this piece comes was first published in 1873.
