Phillip Sear plays a musical fairy-tale by the obscure German (?) composer Bernhard Lufer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All I can find about Berhard Lufer was that he died in 1897 and taught piano at the Wiesbaden conservatory. The Schumannesque suite of pieces ('From childhood days') from which this piece comes was published in 1896. If this piece was published around the time of its composition, it may well be that the composer died young, as (by standards of the day) Op.18 is a modest total of works to have achieved a year before his death, and the set is dedicated to the composer's parents. This fairy tale does not have any published accompanying narrative, but it is easy to imagine - from the tone of the music - a damsel in distress, and a dashing knight riding in to rescue and marry her!
