Phillip Sear plays a most attractive idyll, from 1867 - 'The Village Sabbath' - by the Czech composer Franz Bendel (1833-74). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Franz Bendel (1833-74) was a Czech pupil of Liszt in Weimar, who later taught in Berlin (where he eventually died of typhus), and also travelled as a pianist and conductor to America. Bendel was a skilled pasticheur (and produced very able imitations of the styles of Mozart and Haydn). He was also perhaps the only composer able to assimilate the style of Liszt, and even produce pieces that could be mistaken for those of the master. This piece is a good example - note the beguiling harmonic shift from the middle to the final section of the piece. Appraisal of Bendel's oeuvre is difficult, since so few of his works seem to be available; this one appeared in a cheaply-produced British compilation album from the early 20th century. Thumbnail photo is a detail from the painting 'Sunday Morning in the Mines, California' by Charles Christian Nahl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
