Phillip Sear plays a very short piano suite from 1956 by the British pianist and composer Philip Wilkinson (1929–2011).  The movements are: Prelude, Sarabande; Gavotte; and Gigue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wilkinson studied at the Royal College of Music, and later returned there to teach, where he was a professor from 1965 to 1994, dealing with academic aspects of music.  In his Times obituary he was described as "a distinguished late Romantic composer himself, he was a very English equivalent of Sergei Rachmaninov, Nikolay Medtner or Ernö Dohnányi."  Be that as it may, this very short suite doesn't take after any of those composers, being light and neoclassical in flavour.
